I fixed this last weekend on July 4th. Awesome. The best potato salad I have ever had. The only complaint my husband had was that it had no color. I may add paprika or something on the top just for color. Otherwise, this is perfect. Thanks for a great recipe. By the way, this was the first time I have ever made potato salad and there is no need to look for another recipe.

I absolutely love this recipe. I purposly make more than I think I need for a party so I will have leftovers. It is a creamy, true potato salad without having a bunch of nonsense ingredients mixed in and skewing the flavor and texture. Gets compliments every time.

I searched for years to find a recipe that was like the potato salad from my favorite deli in NY. Wow this is as close as it gets. I marinated the onions in the vinegar mixture while the potatoes cooked-I like what it did for the flavor. I also mixed in the dry mustard with the sour cream/mayo mixture. My potatoes marinated for 4 hours instead of 3o minutes but still came out WONDERFUL! So creamy with just the right tangy flavor-reminiscent of a great deli!! Oh - I omitted the eggs-doesn't need it.

I think this is a good recipe: I thought I had cedar vinegar but I was mistaken, so balsamic vinegar it had to be... less than stated, as it's very strong and flavourful. The salad was good, came ot beautiful, didn't get rave rewiews, though...

Easy to make. I used red potatoes. The apple cider was a bit much, so next time I would not use as much.

I LOVE this recipe! I have been searching for one similar to my mom's, and this is it! The vinegar adds a wonderful flavor. I omitted the onions and added chopped dill pickle...perfect!

Wow! Everyone thought I bought this potato salad from a great deli. I followed the recipe as is with the exception of adding some diced celery for crunch. It is creamy and didn't soak up overnight. Best served after sitting overnight and chilling. Thanks!

Not a big hit. Everyone thought it tasted way to vinegary. Sorry but thanks for letting us try.

fantastic potato salad ... I was worried when some people said the cider vinegar was too much ... but I found it to be perfect ... didn't add eggs ... put 2 chopped ribs of celery and a chopped bunch of green onions in ... added 1/3 cup diced cilantro and 6 slices of crumbled bacon ... this is a keeper!

Wonderful recipe. Easy to make. The only thing I added was right before serving I sprinkled it with Old Bay Seasoning. This was a huge hit at our cookout this evening!!!!

I love potato salad, but had never made it before. This one was wonderful. My husband (who only eats German potato salad) at most of it. Now everytime we have to bring a side dish, he askes me to make it. So there will be 4th of July Potato Salad at Thanksgiving this year.

This was the BEST potato salad that I have had in a LONG time! I only make "easy" recipes and this was so easy. It was a hit at my Fourth of July picnic! I think the apple cider vinegar was the key ingredient that helped make it so yummy!!

Outstanding recipe! This was the first time I ever tried to make potato salad and talk about a HIT! EVERYONE loved it. I made enough for 12 people and it was the only thing that was gone within the first hour! I got rave reviews. Thanks for the GREAT recipe! EDIT (07/04/08): Once again, this potato salad recipe was the hit of the bar-b-que. I actually had people offer to BUY the recipe from me. When I told them that this recipe has gotten some 1-star reviews, everyone agreed that the person must have made it wrong because this was the best potato salad recipe ever. All thirty-five people at my party said so. So I say, give it a try!

GREAT recipe. I jazzed it up a little by adding some diced dill pickle, crumbled baccon (extra crispy), and minced red onion. Very yummy! :)

Befitting its title, I made this salad today, July 4th. We couldn't have enjoyed it more! The creamy mixture of the sour cream, mayo, and cream is especially luscious. Also, marinating the potatoes in the vinegar beforehand is a great idea because it allows the salad to take on multi-dimensional flavor. The only thing I changed was that I used a mixture of white vinegar and red wine vinegar; using these, I felt that the 1/3 cup specified was a good amount-- not too vinegary as others noted. I added a little bit of prepared dijon mustard, in addition to the dry mustard, to the vinegar mixture. I also added about a cup of chopped celery. This will be my basic potato salad from now on!

love this one too. I used reg. yellow mustard instead of dry. I adjusted the amount to taste. I reduced the vinegar and added a bit more sour cream. took another's advice below and sprinkled it with paperika for color. I think next time i will try even less vinegar and add a Tbsp. of sweet pickle or dill pickle relish. mmmmmmmm getting hungry now thinkin about it!....ty!
