Classic potato salad is the side dish every picnic, barbecue and potluck quietly depends on: tender potatoes folded in a creamy, tangy dressing with celery, red onion, pickles and hard-boiled eggs. It is cool, comforting and endlessly scoopable — and it tastes even better the next day, once the flavours have had a night to get to know each other. The secret is dressing the potatoes while they are still warm, so they drink up the vinegar and seasoning instead of sitting in it. Waxy potatoes hold their shape, the dressing stays creamy rather than greasy, and a good handful of fresh dill on top keeps the whole bowl bright. Make it the day before, and the picnic practically serves itself. Illustration: Creamy, tangy and picnic-ready — the side everyone asks for.
