Would you use the same potaotes for kugel and salad. if you don't use the same which potatoes would you use for what, to get the best results.

I use the same. I prefer yukon gold for everything, but a good old-fashioned russet will do in a pinch.

I use Yukon Gold for all my potato cooking needs. They are yummiest, and butteriest tasting potatoes. They work well in kugels, cholent, and salad.

how do you cook the potatoes? if you're boiling them, you have to make sure not to overcook them. I make potato salad out of leftover baked potatoes. they don't get mushy.

When I make potatoe salad I peel and cube the potatoes before cooking. I cook them that way and then drain them and let It cool till it's lukewarm and then mix in the rest of the stuff. I find this to be the best way.

I prefer to bake the potatoes, that way they don't get soggy at all. they stay nice and firm. you can do this in the microwave or in your oven. I don't generally time them in the oven. 45 minutes should do it.
