Stir after adding 3-5 ingredients at a time.

Salt and pepper to taste, then garnish and serve, or cover and refrigerate for service later.

Notes: You don’t need mayonnaise in every potato salad. Fat-free works fine when the potatoes are fresh-cooked. Don’t be using old, wrinkly, musty potatoes in any dish at any time.
