Classic Potato Salad image

This has been a family favorite for years. I am always told for a family picnic "bring your potato salad!" I think it originated from a Hellmann's ad but I only use Kraft mayo.

This potato salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it the day before and it will still be delicious.

I'm not a big fan of celery, so I omitted it from the recipe. The potato salad was still delicious without it.

This potato salad is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I always have some leftover potatoes after making mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes, and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt in the dressing instead. It was a great substitute and made the salad a little healthier.

This is the best potato salad I've ever had! The dressing is perfectly tangy and creamy, and the potatoes are cooked to perfection.

I love that this recipe uses red potatoes. They hold their shape well and don't get mushy, even after being cooked.
