Do you ever panic in the potato aisle trying to choose the perfect type of potato for dinner? It can get very confusing trying to remember which type of potatoes are best for mash, roast, chips, or salad. Use this post to find for the potatoes you need for your next dinner. I live in the UK so all of these potato types are British names.

Potato salad is a core dish in Eastern European home cooking, and it's traditional for every family to have their own unique recipe. This particular version is based on my late father's recipe, who always measured from the heart. You might know this potato salad as a Czech or Slovak version, (eastern) European, Slavic, or Oliver style.
