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.
