A longtime favorite of my family. We don't have an outdoor summer gathering without this and Hellmann's Classic Pasta Salad. Can't go wrong with these delicious recipes. FYI: because of the mayo content, we put the bowl of salad into a slightly larger-sized bowl filled halfway with ice to keep the salads cold and fresh.

THE ORIGINAL POTATO SALAD

This recipe is right off the Hellman's mayonnaise jar. To me, it's so good it rivals my mother in law's potato salad, which I think is the best there is. It's a plain and simple potato salad, but it's delicious! Add pimentos, olives, or green peppers depending on what you like in your potato salad.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Red Bliss or Yukon Gold, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Cook the potatoes perfectly: For best results, boil the potatoes until they are just tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients in your potato salad. Common additions include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, pickles, and bacon.
  • Make it your own: There is no one-size-fits-all recipe for potato salad. Feel free to adjust the ingredients and seasonings to suit your own taste.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a little creativity, you can easily create a potato salad that is both delicious and unique. So next time you're looking for a dish to bring to a potluck or picnic, give potato salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
