FAQs About Hellmann's Potato Salad Recipe
How long does potato salad last out of the fridge?
Since mayonnaise is dairy, the longest the potato salad can sit out of the fridge is 2 hours. If you're serving the potato salad outside in warm weather, you'll only want to keep it out for up to an hour.
Why does potato salad taste better the next day?
If you've ever noticed a better flavor and texture of potato salad on the second day, that's because all of the ingredients have time to marinate. The potatoes absorb more dressing, and the flavors are maximized.

The best potato salad potatoes are Yukon Gold potatoes, red potatoes, or fingerling potatoes. You'll want to use one of those waxy potatoes instead of russet potatoes.

You'll want to make sure that you use one of those potatoes recommended above to keep them from getting mushy. Also, the longer you refrigerate the potato salad, the less likely it is to get mushy.
