  1. I have been cooking for 40 years and I must say this is the BEST POTATOE SALAD I have ever tasted. Made this a couple of weeks ago at a picnic at Thunder of Louisville, Kentucky. Wow. This is no fail, easy to follow, and if you follow this you cannot make any mistakes. You know what is best about this recipe? This can be used by a beginner or someone that has been cooking for years. If you are a beginner you will have rave reviews. If you are a veteran you will continue to keep your good reputation as a good cook. Rock On!
     
  2. So good. I made this for DD's slumber party and we all enjoyed it. I halved the recipe but used the same amount of eggs as written.....loved it. Thank you for sharing.
     
  3. I used a dijon salad dressing (because it's all I had) and it was the best potato salad I'd ever tasted. It was the first time I tried this recipe.
     
  4. I made this for a group that includes a few picky eaters. I added some green onions that I had on hand. There wasn't a spoonful of salad left over.
     
  5. I have been looking for a recipe that was similar in taste to my mom's potato salad ever since she pasted away 6 years ago. I am happy to say that with some very minor changes...I have a winner! Thanks for sharing!

  1. Delicious. I used a large sweet onion instead of a cooking onion and added the crumbled bacon top (thanks to R.M. who gave me the idea). Everyone loved it. I'll make it again.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I enjoy cooking and have done so for the past 30 years. I worked in several food service areas before moving on to a non-cooking job. Cooking has become a hobby of mine and one I enjoy very much. I enjoy creating new recipes. I have several very good recipes from my grandmother, who by the way has taught me everythig I know about cooking. I have many recipes that I have collected over the years. I will try to post as many of them as I can over the course of time. Please view them.
