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:

  • For the best results, use waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, as they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Be sure to boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm, as they will continue to cook slightly when you add the hot dressing.
  • If you don't have time to make the dressing ahead of time, you can use a store-bought mayonnaise-based dressing instead.
  • Add some chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced celery, or chopped fresh herbs to the potato salad for extra flavor and texture.
  • Serve the potato salad chilled for the best flavor.
