Potato salad is typically served as a side dish. It is made from boiled potatoes and a variety of other ingredients. It is believed to have originated in Germany, where potato salad is generally served warm. It was then brought to America in the 19th century. From then, different recipes of potato salad emerged. Experts recommend red-skinned potatoes for the high moisture content, giving the salad a creamier texture. These days, any type of potatoes are used and made flavorful with just the right amount of dressing. The key is not to overcook the potatoes, which would lead to a mushy potato salad.
