Teardrop Potato Salad

Enjoy this light and refreshing potato salad drizzled with a lemony mustard dressing.

Teardrop is a variety of potato shaped like a teardrop. It has pale yellow skin with splashes of pink usually at the bottom end of the potato and yellow flesh.

This potato holds its shape well when boiled and makes a beautiful display when dressed and served in a salad.

Any other variety of potato that holds it shape after cooking is fine to use.
