To make a Barefoot Contessa-approved potato salad, you'll need small red potatoes, Dijon and whole-grain mustard, fresh dill, celery, and red onion. Garten also recommends boiling the potatoes until they're barely tender, then letting them steam in a colander under a kitchen towel until tender but firm. She also recommends not serving the potato salad right away. Instead, she says to toss it well, cover it, and refrigerate the salad for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend.
