Disappointing - I had high expectations. I had bought a local grocery store brand Amish potato salad and it was awesome - I was excited to see try this recipe becuase I was sure it would be even better homemade. Maybe I did something wrong, but by the next day we threw it out. It was not good at all. I have a tried and true potato salad recipe I will stick with. If I ever try this again and it turns out better, I will update.

This is one potato salad that definately gets better with age. I used yellow potatoes which made it very buttery. It yeilds a lot, so you may want to reduce the amount of servings if you do not have big crowd and a week of lunches to pack.

Made this potato salad several times, everyone enjoys it very much. Reminds me of the potato salad my Grandma made. I cut down on the sugar amount, and use celery salt instead of celery seed and no butter or celery.

I made this for a weekend BBQ and we were not happy with it. I thought it had way too much vinegar. However, a family friend that was over, loved it. I gave her the recipe but won't be making it again myself.

Everytime I make this potato salad everyone wants the recipe. I use a little more onion, no carrots, and celery only if I have it. I also add a little extra celery seed to the dressing. I top the salad with sliced hard boiled eggs and sprinkle with paprika for a finished look.

Used red potatoes instead of white. While this taste ok to good for us, I just plain thought it was too much work. I will revert back to other recipes. Thanks anyway.

Not bad. It was too sweet for my tastes, and Husband isn't a big potato salad fan either.

Made it for the 1st time last night and we all loved it. Very creamy. Next time I won't add as much sugar, but will keep everything else the same.

Wonderful! I also omitted the carrots (our least favourite veggie)as well as the butter. I also reduced the sugar to a scant 1/2 cup and added 1 tablespoon of celery seed to the dressing. I increased the apple cider vinegar from 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup and instead of plain milk, I used buttermilk. I also made the dressing in the microwave. After the dressing cooled, I mixed it in with the spuds and added a good handful of chopped fresh dill. This is our "summer salad of the year"! Thanks MelCavell.

I've made this recipe several times now, and I like the sweet flavor of it, though sometimes I decrease the sugar a bit. I don't like celery so I substitute about a teaspoon of celery salt, and I use green onions. This doesn't replace my standard potato salad recipe, but its great for a change of pace.

This was so good even though I didn't add the carrots and I had only celery seasoning instead of celery seeds it still turned a real keeper..:}

Although I liked the cooked dressing & would try to use it somewhere else it did not make the best potato salad in my opinion. It might be quite good in coleslaw.

Thanks for a delicious recipe. I've made a different cooked dressing for years and this one is much creamier. I added salt & celery seed to my own taste since an amount wasn't listed. I also added green pepper & olives (personal preference). This dressing would also be great for cole slaw & macaroni salad.
