It is always good to add garlic powder, onion powder, and also some green onions chopped. You can always add chopped up bell pepper in it as well. -
I like my Potato Salad pretty basic as well. I can eat it both hot or cold, but prefer it cold. Usually I add another boiled egg (or two), a little chopped sweet pickle, and a dash of celery seed. Nothing beats a good old potato salad, and it goes well with everything, EXCEPT Cheerios! -
Perfect for onion-hating-mustard-lovers (ok, so I added a good deal more mustard in order to qualify for that statement ;]) It's very yummy -
Simple yet wonderfully delicious. This is my kind of potato salad. -
This is such a wonderful basic recipe for potato salad! Marg is right, it is equally good warm or cold. I made as directed, using hard boiled eggs I already had on hand and making my own additions of minced celery, sweet pickle relish, chopped green onion and a little crumbled crisp bacon. I mixed the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, adding the salt and freshly ground pepper before adding to the salad. The results were so good when I did my taste test, I had to take a couple forks full! This delicious recipe I will use again and again! Thank you, Marg (CaymanDesigns)!
