The summer season is upon us and that means meals are moving outdoors! There is plenty of sunshine and gathering with family and friends in backyards everywhere, or in parks and at beaches- for our annual traditions of cookouts, potlucks and picnics.

What better to enjoy than a favorite potato salad?

I’ve gathered a collection of favorites that I have posted here at Palatable.

Serving tip: since many of these contain mayonnaise and/or egg, it is important to keep these at a cool serving temperature. Keep well chilled and when serving, it is a cool idea to set the serving bowl nested in another bowl filled with ice. Don’t set the food out in advance of serving time, and once service is finished, don’t let it sit there, but discard any unused portion. No one wants food poisoning- and this is true not only for these type of salads but also for meats and other side dishes.

So keep your outdoor plans happy, healthy and fun!
