For me, it depends on the type of potato salad.

Classic - nothing but russet potatoes. There's just something about the way part of the potato mixes with the mayo to make a nice, thick dressing.

Parsley Potatoes - I always use the creamers (or bliss), red or white, because they're low starch.

Both of these have already been made for tomorrow, and I can't wait to dig in!

How about you?

Russets. I try others but always go back to them.

Russets

Red bliss.

Like you, it depends what kind of potato salad I'm making.

Red potatoes for traditional - fingerlings for French version.

I prefer the smaller reds. I make more German Potato salad than the traditional style though and it is a hot dish.

As neither my husband nor I eat it, I've never made potato salad. When we are having a party, I buy it from a local delicatessen. My MIL used russet.

I like the French version with fingerlings, white wine, olive oil, parsley, chives and/or green onions and a little fresh dill.

I always use white russet potatoes for potato salad. IMO it's a firmer and better tasting potato than some others I could use.
