I don't know what Yukon Gold are like, but they're probably waxy potatoes which hold their shape well. Roosters, pinks, queens etc are floury and go to mush.
For potato salad I use the baby potatoes that all the supermarkets sell, sometimes called salad potatoes. I boil them gently until tender and then cut them into little chunks. It's important to add the mayo etc while they're still warm because they soak it up. I usually use a load of Hellmans light and a good glug of apple cider vinegar.. Taste it as you go. Then I add chopped red onion, salt and pepper. You can add whatever herbs you like.
If you want a mashed potato salad use floury potatoes and mash them without milk or butter before adding the rest.
There are no doubt more gourmet potato salads than mine, but my family all love it

That's what I thought at first, too, but all the "microwave" symbols I came across had this kind of design:
I was wondering, could it mean that it's microwave safe but for defrosting only? The thing is, I haven't found that symbol anywhere.

In my decades-long search for the perfect garlic press, today I bought this.
Basically, you cut the top and tail off a bulb of garlic, pop it into the red silicon tube and roll it a couple of times to peel the skin off. Then you wet the dish and grate the garlic bulb to a pulp, then use the brush to remove the pulp. When you finish you can then stick it in the dishwasher. All for €20.
The silicon tube is worth the money by itself. The hours I’ve spent peeling garlic. All gone in seconds now. 0 -

I posted about that in the Kitchen Gadgets/Tools thread last year and find it very good for garlic and ginger.Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.
