Cooking tips

In this recipe, it is important to follow the order of the layers for the correct flavor.

To ensure the crab and potato salad stays firm and doesn't fall apart, let it sit in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving. This will allow all the layers to adhere well.

Don't skimp on the mayonnaise between the layers—it acts as a binder and ensures richness. This is key in any recipe of this type.

Serve the crab salad with potatoes cold. This will preserve all the textures and rich flavors.
