  • Add the potato salad to a freezer baggie. Do not fill it completely. Only fill it 3/4 the way full.

  • Place the baggie in the freezer. Lay it flat so that the potato salad freezes flat.

  • 1. Remove the potato salad from the freezer and place it in the fridge.
  • 2. Allow it to defrost for 24 hours in the fridge.
  • 3. Stir it prior to serving.

Notes

Experts advise against freezing potato salad because when you defrost it, it may be watery. If we have a lot of leftover potato salad it is worth the risk for us. Give it a try and use your own judgement on the issue.
