How do you make your potato salad?

[wavepool]

Broiled or grilled potatoes, then a sauce made of mayo and BBQ sauce, plus shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and green onions.

[lilafowler]

Potatoes, cocktail sauce and soy mayo.

[nightandday]

I make red potatoes, leave the skin on, and add mayo, blue cheese, bacon, caramelized onions and jalapenos.

[jeekerbeeker]

Boil potatoes in crab boil! It gives it such a great flavor. Then I add eggs, mustard, minced onions,mayo and salt and pepper. 

[SKP82]

I usually do diced boiled potatoes, mayo, mustard, onions, pickles, and a little sugar dissolved in vinegar. And salt and pepper.

This sounds so yummy.

I've also made it with skin-on red potatoes (boiled), mayo, bacon, scallions and a little white vinegar.

The German way.

Boiled new potatoes, a pound of bacon, green onions, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard.

Cook the bacon until it's crisp, reserve the fat, mix it with the acv & mustard, pour it over the potatoes, bacon and green onions. Salt & pepper, then shove it in your face.

This is the only potato salad I will eat.

I don't like any "salad" with mayo.

I use red potatoes (skin on) or golden potatoes (no skin). I learned my salad recipes from my nana. 
Finely chopped onion and celery (or celery salt),splash of vinegar, lots of mayo, kosher salt and black pepper.  I also like to add fresh dill if I have any.

I only like it with red potatoes, lots of sour cream and dill.

[pantsparty]

Boiled red-skinned potatoes, add cider vinegar, dill, mayo, sour cream, a little mustard, eggs, diced celery, green onions, and bacon. It's AMAZING.

[auntie]

Either sliced red potatoes with thinly sliced onions, dijon and capers tossed while warm with a red wine vinaigrette- or-

the Cook's Illustrated basic version with dill added

[penelope]

4 or 5 pounds of boiled potatoes, half a chopped onion, one chopped tomato, one pound of bacon cut into pieces, 3 hard boiled eggs chopped up, a couple of tablespoons of miracle whip and salt and pepper.

That is how MIL makes it, and at first I thought it was odd, with the tomato and bacon, but now I love it.

[textbookcase]

Red potatoes, mayo, dijon mustard, bacon, hb eggs, celery, black olives, dill, green onions, salt and pepper.

[whitemerlot]

My husband's grandma makes it with potatoes, eggs, onion, celery, radishes, mayo, salt and pepper. I love the radishes.

[Grimmy]

MIL makes hers with boiled potatoes, mayo, onions, peas, and hot dog lol. H loves it, me not so much.

I like potato, dill, corn, and bell pepper. I like to make it with a mix of mayo/sour cream.

My current favorite is 4lbs potatoes, 1c mayo, 1c sour cream, 1.5c chopped celery, a bunch of diced green onions, 5T chopped fresh dill, 2t powdered mustard & salt to taste.

Oh, I forgot about celery. I looooooove celery in potato salad.

[livinitup]

This is my mom's recipe. Steamed potatoes (sliced thick), mayo, dill pickle juice, salt, pepper, chopped onion, chopped hard boiled eggs.

I also did cole slaw for the first time and I used a non-mayo recipe to balance things out.

[cbwm1]

I only like my mom's potato salad. Lots of yellow mustard, pickles, hard boiled eggs, red onion, some mayo, and some pickle juice. And lots of black pepper.

I have yet to meet a potato salad other than my mom's that I like. Most have too much mayo. And sugar. Who the fuck puts sugar in potato salad? That shit is unacceptable.

[Deleted]

3 lb bag red potatoes (boil til soft, slow easy boil appx 45)
5.75 oz jar green olives chopped
16 oz jar sweet pickles chopped
Bunch green onions chopped
1 cup and a half mayo (adjust to taste)
Mustard to taste

[CurlyQ284]

Boil potatoes. Marinate them overnight in Italian dressing. The next morning mayo, a tiny bit of mustard, celery, dill pickles, celery seed, dill and paprika. My mom adds hard boiled eggs too but I hate eggs.

[rachel6789]

I boil diced potatoes and then mix with celery, onion, minced garlic, bacon, mayo, sour cream, and salt and pepper. It's more of a baked potato salad as far as topping go.

[pamela]

Boiled potatoes, still hot. Mayo, enough mustard for color. Sometimes paprika. Salt, pepper, chopped boiled eggs. Then either chopped pickles or our favorite green olives. Serving it hot is the key.

[cabbagecabbage]

Mine has a basic method although it's never the same way twice. I prefer Yukon golds but have used other potatoes. Cooked from cold to perfectly tender. I sprinkle the hot potatoes with vinegar and add them to the hot, drained pan to steam off any liquid.

I add celery, egg, fine diced onion or green onion, and sometimes dill pickle.

Sauce is Hellman's mayo cut with a little yogurt or sour cream, some deli mustard, sprinkle of sugar, dill from my garden, salt and pepper.

Not gonna lie, I'm semi-potato salad famous. At least it gets assigned to me at some parties.

[underwaterrhymes]

I am anti-mayo.

I prefer German-style.

[crashgizmo]

A friend of mine made a version a few years ago that I stole and use exclusively now. She used purple potatoes, arugula, shaved parmesan, bacon and mayo. It was fabulous.

I am a boston gal and I have never heard of it. But I'd like to try it!

Boiled potatoes with skins. Then I mix in may, onion, celery, some salt and pepper and celery salt.

My brother in law makes his with no mayo just adds reg vinegar, onion and oil to potatoes
