Your best recipe for Potato salad? please don't copy &paste thanks?!
Answers:
I don't have an exact recipe, but I can tell you what I do!.
I cook up my red potatos with skins on whole and cool down in frig overnight!. They cut up nicer this way!.
Next day I fry up my bacon and crumble it up!. I pour the hot bacon grease and crumbled bacon into the diced potatoes!. Then I add finely chopped celery, finely chopped red onion,a few boiled eggs chopped up, marinated artichoke hearts chopped up, black olives, mayo, mustard, celery seed, salt and pepper to taste!. The I top it with paprika!.
This was my Grandma's recipe from many many years back and was always a huge hit!. Of course it always turns out a little different from each person that makes it, but that is only because my Grandma would put her love into it!.
Some subtitutions- instead of artichokes can do dill pickles chopped up- instead of black olives can do green, if wanted to make it with a bit of a kick you can do diced mild green chilis, you can used dried onions instead of fresh, you can use celery seed instead of fresh celery, and you can use sourcream instead of mayo or dijon mustard instead of regular mustard!.
It is fun to try different things to see if you hit on a taste that you really enjoy!. This is the fun part of making salads is to experiment because it is not an exact science!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This first recipe is not exact but here is how I do my creamy potato salad:
About 3-4 potatoes
2-3 hard boiled eggs (I really like the eggs so some times I add even more)
1-2 pickles depending on how well you like pickles(I don;t like pickles but the flavor is imprtant so sometimes I may only add 1/2 pickle)
1/2 onion or more-also depending on taste
1 good sized stalk celery chopped
Mayonaise
Yellow Mustard
splash of pickle juice
Good sprinkle of seasoned salt
Dreid dill weed
Boil the potatoes whole with the peel on until tender!. Drain and rinse with cool water!. When they are cool enough to handle peel off the skins and dice into bite sized chunks)
Meanwhile mix up the mayo, mustard, seasoned salt, pickle juice and dill to taste!. Add eggs, pickles, onion, celery to the potatoes and top with the mayo mix!. Do this while the potatoe are still a little warm, this helps them absorb more flavor!. Mix well and let cool to room temp!. Wrap with seran wrap and refridgerate 3-4 hours!.
