Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be sure to scrub the potatoes well before boiling.
- Don't overcook the potatoes, or they will become mushy.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before adding the mayonnaise, as hot potatoes can break the emulsion.
- If you want to add some extra flavor, you can stir in some chopped bacon, hard-boiled eggs, or crumbled blue cheese.
