I don't like sweet potato salad so mine is made with dill pickle!. If you like it sweet, sub with sweet!.

red potatoes, green bell pepper, black olives, chopped dill pickle or dill relish, celery, purple onion, Best Foods or Hellman's mayonaise, Lawry's Season Salt, paprika and dried parsley on top as garnish!. I do use eggs sometimes but leave them out for people who don't like them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My daughter hates mayonnaise, so I make potato salad with vinegrette tossed with the potatoes when they are still hot and fresh herbs - always lots of parsley and then thyme, oregano or taragon!. If you want more crunch you can add celery or bell pepper!.

1/2 tsp salt

Another item I never use a recipe for!. And I've been making potato salad for years, since I guess I was tall enough to reach the counter and cut veg lol!.
Sometimes boiled eggs, sometimes not!. Sometimes nugget potatoes, red potatoes!.
As for veg, whatever inspires that day, asparagus, sun dried tomatoes, green beans, cherry tomatoes, jarred artichoke hearts, peppers, dill pickles, broccoli (not all of these together of course and this is just a sample), and then ham or chorizo or bacon or sometimes seafood!.
Then for dressing, I'll either do a mayo/pickle juice/mustard base, or sour cream or yogurt base, or simply a vinaigrette base!. The key though is adding whatever dressing to warm potatoes for maximum flavour and allowing to marinate for as long as possible (i!.e making the salad in the morning for that evening, or the night before for lunch the next day)!. And tasting a few hours later for seasoning, as the flavours at the beginning have not had any time to come out fully yet and it's not possible to get an accurate reading on fixing up seasoning yet!.
Anyway, like I said, no recipes, just what's in the fridge, what am I in the mood for!.

Addendum: and the other key for me is NEVEr to overcook the potatoes and making them large enough that they don't go soggy!. This is crucial because if there's one thing that grosses me out is mushy 'mashed potato' potato salad!. Potato salad is supposed to be chunks of potato, not mashed potato with stuff in it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes hard boiled eggs are good, but not so much if you don't like them!. Radish's , green onions, bacon, mustard, mayo, and salt, and pepper!. And only put in how ever much you want or like!. Make sure as well your potato's are nice and soft!. Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just omit hard boiled eggs from any recipes that otherwise sound good to you!. No big deal!.

I put mayo, yellow mustard, S&P, sweet & dill pickle relishes (and some sweet juice), maybe some finely chopped celery and celery leaves if I feel like crunch!.

This one is nice for a change:

New Potato Salad

3 pounds small red potatoes
Kosher salt

2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard

Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped red onion

Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of salt in a large pot of water!. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife!. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel!. Allow the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes!.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, dill, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper!. Set aside!.

When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters or halves, depending on their size!. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl!. While the potatoes are still warm, pour enough dressing over them to moisten!. (As the salad sits, you may need to add more dressing!.) Add the celery and red onion, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper!. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend!. Serve cold or at room temperature!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
