Everyone has their preferences when it comes to potato salad...no celery...no eggs..extra pickles...warm..cold...etc. However - this is the basic recipe for a true Southern potato salad. Now I'll admit - I like it cold - not warm - that's just the way my family always ate it. Also - my Granny always tossed her potatoes with white vinegar right after they came out of the pot and drained (about 2 TBSP for each 2 Pounds of potatoes). Then waited for the potatoes to get just warm and tossed them with the dressing. I just don't think you can replace that soaked in vinegar flavor with ANY dressing and I love it that way. Also - unless you like "mashed potato" salad - ALWAYS mix everything but the potatoes in a separate bowl and then GENTLY FOLD it into the vinegar coated potatoes while they are warm. Seve it warm - or let it sit in the fridge overnight - YOUR CHOICE. Omit anything from this recipe that you DON't like in your potato salad - but the portions of all the ingredients are right on!!!

I tried this recipe for a family gathering - primarily because most everyone in my family LOVES onions. Even though it looked like a really odd recipe - how could I go wrong with onions????? This is just incredible. Even the very few members of my family who are not onion lovers thought it was GREAT. They didn't know it had onions in it (how strange is that??) Everyone thought it had PINEAPPLE. And I admit - somehow - it really does have a pineapple flavor to it - at least with the Vidalia onions I used. I've had several family members ask for this recipe since I first made it - and they all got RAVE reviews. I made it again today for a Memorial Day Bar-B-Que tomorrow. I have every confidence it will be a hit - AGAIN! PS - definitely cut the onion slices in half - much easier to fit on a cracker.

This is great. I've used it on everything from fish tacos to carne asada. Basically - if I'm cooking any kind of Mexican or Tex-Mex - I make this sauce to serve as a side. It has become as much of a staple as salsa.
