THE BEST AMERICAN POTATO SALAD
Our favorite potato salad kicks up the traditional mayonnaise base with not only chopped dill pickles, but also uses the pickle brine for extra tang. Scallions, celery and parsley add freshness and a little crunch, while hard-boiled eggs practically make it a meal.

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.

BEST CLASSIC POTATO SALAD
Creamy, tangy, and crunchy, with a hint of spice and sweetness from pickles, this reminds me of my grandmother's potato salad served every Easter or any time we had barbecue. She always dotted it with olives for a finishing touch and a perfect briny addition. This is the best classic version of good old-fashioned, Southern-style potato salad. Not too mayonaissey with just the right amount of tang! Serve with grilled or smoked meats as the perfect side dish.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: The best potato salad starts with the right potatoes. Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and won't become mushy when cooked.
- Cook the potatoes properly: To prevent the potatoes from becoming waterlogged, cook them just until they are tender. You can boil, steam, or roast the potatoes, depending on your preference.
- Cool the potatoes completely: Before adding the dressing, let the potatoes cool completely. This will help to prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
- Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes the potato salad special. There are many different variations on potato salad dressing, so choose one that you think your family and friends will enjoy. Some popular options include mayonnaise-based dressings, vinegar-based dressings, and mustard-based dressings.
- Add other ingredients to taste: Once you have chosen a dressing, you can add other ingredients to taste. Some popular additions include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and cheese. Get creative and experiment with different ingredients until you find a combination that you love.
Conclusion:
Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and backyard barbecues. With so many different variations on potato salad, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy.
