For the best flavor, use Yukon Gold potatoes. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. Do not overcook the potatoes, as they will become mushy. They should be tender but still firm. Adjust the amount of vinegar to your liking. Some people prefer a more tart potato salad. Allowing the potato salad to rest for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, will allow the flavors to meld together even more. While traditionally served warm or at room temperature, this potato salad is also delicious chilled.
