Recipes Side Dishes BBQ Side Dishes Potato Salad Classic Potato Salad 5.0 (1,869) 2 Reviews Baby potatoes have a naturally sweet flavor and creamy texture that's delicious in this classic potato salad recipe. Even better, they hold their shape better than cut-up full-size potatoes, and there's no need to peel them. A touch of scallions and parsley make this version especially tasty. Make it as a simple side for your next backyard barbecue or summer picnic.

Bring to a boil over high heat and cook the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the mustard and vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the scallions, parsley, and celery. Halve the potatoes crosswise and fold them into the dressing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
