homemade potato salad

A classic potato salad is a must have at every barbecue and this is the best of the best. It's creamy, tangy, with a little bit of crunch, and the pickles make this potato salad stand out from all the rest. It's also our go-to year round.

What kind of potato salad is your favorite?

Wow...I have tried many potato salad recipes but this is my all time favorite.  I used smoked paprika and added garlic salt, but otherwise, stuck with the recipe.  Amazing!  Thanks for sharing!!!

Great recipe. We use Maille mustard with the seeds and some celery seed

I reduced the recipe by half and made it with my husband. We didn't use the red onions. It was the perfect amount for our little family and tasted delicious! Thanks for sharing!

Recipe sounds good!  I always add chopped celery with the onion.  GOOD! I will have to try with the dill pickle addition.

Almost exactly my mother's recipe, except she used green onions or scallions instead of red onion.

Its a good basic recipe.  Made it for Father’s Day.  Added celery.  No lemon juice.  And it was still a hit.

Really good! I added dill, celery (less onion) and a little yellow mustard 😃

My husband does not like potatoe salad typically because too plain and very heavy in mayo.  He could not stop raving about this recipe, had seconds (whoa!!!), and asked I make it throughout the summer!  Finally a recipe we agree on!  Delicious!!! Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤️

This is 5 stars - Delicious! Made it for the 4th tomorrow and I keep digging my fork into it - at the rate I am going, there won't be anything left for the family!  :  )

This is how my grandmother made potato salad, love it!

oops I forgot to rate it. If the onions are too strong for you, use chopped green onions.

Chill & Serve

Hi Laura,
I made this yesterday, turned out great!
I used Type C red potatoes, I didn't peel them, gives some extra color (or I'm lazy!).
I will be making this again for sure.

Thank you, Laura!

Made this and it was delicious! I normally use yellow mustard instead of Dijon and also relish! I followed the directions and the dressing is awesome!

I also add sweet relish &amp; some diced red &amp; green bell peppers.  The bell peppers give it a nice crunch &amp; great added flavor!

This is close to what I make.  I use a lot of hard boiled eggs and six is common. I also use drained pimentos. Depending upon the size of the salad I may use a large jar and a small jar. I also use sweet pickle relish but ultimately I can and have you deal relish both work well. Some people put in crumbled up bacon but I don't. Nor do I use celery and especially not onion with people having allergies to it. I put hard-boiled eggs sliced on top for a decoration and sprinkle it with paprika.

All your recipes look delicious. I made the Brussels sprouts and love them.

I just made the chocolate chip cookies.  Easy recipe ....Due to health issues I cut sugar to 3/4 on white and brown; and used salted butter and omitted the salt.  They were sweet enough and did not notice the difference w/o salt because we are salt free people.. Thanks for recipe
