Potato salad is an easy side dish that requires only a few ingredients besides potatoes and mayonnaise. Of course spices are recommended but in most cases you can add flavor to this dish by simply using what you already have in your spice cabinet. The potatoes are important too so before you even decide on additional flavors and textures you need to start with the right potatoes. The starchier the better as starchy potatoes absorb dressing well which will give you a creamier salad. Russet and Idaho potatoes are your best bet.

Ultimate Caesar Salad Potato Skins • Tasty Recipes
Once you have your potatoes you can take the salad in any direction you want but if you’re looking for a simple alternative to typical mayonnaise with built-in flavor to make things easier don’t skip the Caesar salad dressing. It’s the flavor boost you didn’t know you needed here — and you can take it a step further by roasting your potatoes in it too.
It’s hard to hate a Caesar salad. The dressing has a rich savory umami flavor thanks to elements like mayonnaise Parmesan cheese and anchovies (yes in many recipes these tiny fish play a huge role in making the dressing delicious) and it can make any sandwich or salad taste better. But Caesar dressing also works well on potato salad. If you’re roasting your potatoes toss them in some Caesar dressing before cooking. As they cook that rich mayo dressing will caramelize in the oven forming a crispy coating on the potatoes while still preserving that savory flavor.
Once the potatoes are done forget about tossing them in mayo. Instead toss them in more Caesar dressing. Since the dressing itself has so much flavor using Caesar instead of mayo saves you the trouble of chopping up extra herbs and spices.
