For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh dill or tarragon. If you prefer a tangier salad, add a splash of pickle juice or a teaspoon of lemon juice to the dressing. For a smoother texture, use a potato ricer to rice some of the potatoes before adding them to the salad. Make sure your potatoes are cooked through but not mushy, the time varies from 25-40 minutes based on the size of the potato.
