Isn't mayo bad for you?  If there's a way to make it without mayo I'd be willing to try that but I doubt it would taste good.

@truffle ... I guess you could use Miracle whip if you preferred. It's not like I eat mayo every day, so I guess it's ok in moderation.

@sidsmom ... Uh, I guess that does qualify as "potato salad!"

Miracle Whip?  Is that a real food?  I would never eat that either.

I really hate eggs, so they are out. I have a recipe where you mix a small amount of vinaigrette in with the potatoes while they are still warm. That gives kind of a flavor base when the potatoes and whatever mix- ins you add are cool, you make a dressing of mayo and sour cream and season to taste. This is my favorite.

My husband and I recently (re)discovered the wonder that is a shallot.

I could eat them in just about anything and I think I'll put them in a potato salad this weekend!

Saute in butter in first? Carmelized and a little crispy? Yum!

potatoes, grated onion, finely diced red and green pepper, celery, eggs, salt pepper 

Hellmans thinned with a splash of milk and a tiny squirt of mustard

yum!

I LOVE potato salad but I just simply can't make it very well so I normally buy mine from a deli.  I prefer a red or yukon gold potato along with salt, pepper, hard boiled eggs, mustard and/or dijon mustard, chopped sweet pickles (or pickle relish) & paprika.  I prefer Miracle Whip over Mayo.  I like celery but not in summer/picnic salads so I prefer it without.

My mom makes hers with mashed potatoes (either leftovers or she'll just make the mashed potatoes first before the salad.  That's the only kind of potato salad I will not eat.

OK are you happy now I have made Denver potato salad for tomorrow and going to grill hamburgers!! LOL LOL LOL Oh the power of suggestion!!!

I've tried different variations over the years but now I just stick to a simple recipe.    Potatoes, mayo, sweet pickle relish (with the juice), yellow mustard & salt & black pepper.   Eggs if I have some, a little onion if I have some.    I ALWAYS have the main ingredients.

It's potato salad season! So what do you like in your potato salad? I like to make homemade potato salad. I went to the deli a couple days ago, and they had a laminated sheet with about 10 different kinds of potato salad and their ingredients listed on it. None of them were the way we like ours.

We like white potatoes, hard boiled eggs, celery, onion, green olives, a little dill pickle, mayo, yellow mustard, and salt. When it's done, I sprinkle paprika on top of it.

My SIL said that putting eggs in potato salad turns it into "egg salad." Not around here. I don't like sweet pickle, relish, bacon, or cheese in my potato salad.

How do you like yours?
