Best potatoes for a classic potato salad

There are a lot of different kinds of potatoes but waxy potatoes are the best choice for this salad. Red potatoes, Charlotte and French fingerlings are only a few to mention. They hold their shape better while cooking and don’t taste starchy. Boiling them in the skin makes it even easier for them to hold their shape. Once cooled, they can be peeled and cut into pieces.
