Notes
Boil the potatoes whole: If you cut them before cooking they will crumble more easily, so cook them first and let cut.
Generously season: As you aren't using a mayonnaise-based dressing, ensure you add plenty of salt, pepper and garlic powder to add maximum flavor to the tuna potato salad's tangy dressing.
Tone down the onion: If red onion is too strong for you, substitute a shallot instead.
