I'm not a real potato salad fan, so when someone asked me to bring potato salad to a potluck, I thought I'd try something different from the usual mayo and mustard concoction. This was a little more work than ordinary potato salad, but I thought it was worth it. I was concerned that it would be a little unusual for some people, but everyone liked it and several people requested the recipe. Thanks for a good recipe.

Very good with a nice taste to the potatoes. I used cider vinegar-because that is what I had. Kids thought it was really good.

Great recipe. I have made this twice now - once for the home taste trial and again for an office party. I followed the recipe except that I cooked the potatoes a bit longer than suggested (1/2 hour) by accident and I used 1 1/2 cups of water/vinegar/sugar for the marinade to better cover all the potatoes. "Hands-down the best potatoe salad I have eaten in my 36 years on the planet." was the review via email from a co-worker later in the day. This is the only potatoe salad recipe I will use from now on. The vinegar/sugar marinade really imparts a wonderful flavor to the potatoes and the mayo/celery seed add the final touches. Very simple and extremely tasty. Thanks for the great recipe!

This is an excellent recipe for someone who likes the New York deli style potato salad of yore. I have made it several times, as is and with minor changes; such as using a little dill juice from the pickle jar, a little less sugar. The best time saver I have found is to buy a couple of boxes of store brand scallopped potatoes on sale, put the sauce envelope in the pantry and using only the dehydrated potatoes..boil them for about 15-16 min, then drain and put in bowl, pour marinade over the potatoes as per recipe. Proceed with recipe and is best made the day before using. Thanks, Bud.

This is one of the best potato salad recipes I have ever tried. It is so traditional to a deli style, it is excellent. Does Bud have a Cole Slaw recipe??

This recipe rocks!!! I have always wondered how I could get more flavor in the potatoes themselves. I thought marinating them would make them all mushy. I made this recipe exactly as directed, and it is superb. I added some hard boiled eggs though. We love it!!!

This was a nice change from the usual potato-and-egg salad. I used red potatoes with the skins on, and plain white distilled vinegar because that's all I had. I also doubled the vinegar and water, and cut down the sugar, and marinated it for 4 hours. It tasted great, tangy but not too sweet. I also added dill weed and crumbled 2 pieces of bacon on it. Excellent, will make again.

Loved this potato salad, but prefer to marinate just 3 to 4 hours. I use celery salt instead of regular salt and celery seed. Best made with red potatoes, red wine vinegar also works fine gives it a little more kick. Until I used this recipe I didn't like sugar or vinegar in our potato salad, the wine vinegar makes a world of differance. Be careful not to over cook the potatoes, they don't need to be as soft as with other recipes because they soften while marinating. I also add about a dozen eggs , can't imagine potato salad without eggs.

This was my first attempt at a potato salad. I really liked it, but a few others complained about the sweet/vinegar flavor. Next time, I will leave out the celery seed -- didn't care for that.

What a great potato salad recipe--I didn't change a thing. I've made it several times, and it's the only recipe I'll use from now on. The hot sugar/vinegar marinade is what makes it great. And it makes a ton! I may never make the straight mayo/hard-boiled egg variety again. Thanks for sharing.

I have made this salad 3 times now and everyone loves it. I did make a change however. The first time I made this, I found out that I had no celery seed ( I could have sworn I did!) so I subbed dill weed for it and it's wonderful. I also don't drain all the vinegar mixture as it gives the finished product a kick. You will not be sorry with this recipe.
