Have you ever posted a recipe and just love reading the reviews for it? This is my signature potato salad. Whenever there is a pot luck function at work, I am TOLD that I have to bring the potato salad. No one else is allowed to and I am never given a choice. Thank you everyone who ever tried this potato salad and for leaving such glowing reviews for it. You all have made me look so good. I personally can not stand eggs or raw onions, so I leave them out but I know most people don't think a potato salad is complete without them. Thanks again for so many wonderful reviews. (psssst....check out my recipe #123107 as well. It shares the dressing with this recipe but tastes much much different because of the different ingredients) Please see Recipe #242966 for bacon bit tips.

GRANDMA'S CREAMY POTATO SALAD



Grandma's Creamy Potato Salad image

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or fingerling potatoes, hold their shape well when cooked and are less likely to fall apart in the salad.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still firm. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart.
  • Make the dressing in advance: The dressing can be made up to a few hours ahead of time, allowing the flavors to meld. This will also give the potatoes time to cool completely before adding the dressing.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, or chives, add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the salad.
  • Don't overdress the salad: Add just enough dressing to coat the potatoes evenly. Too much dressing will make the salad soggy.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will also make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Creamy marinated potato salad is a classic picnic and potluck side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a creamy marinated potato salad that is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
