Once again, Allrecipes delivers! I made this potato salad for 80 people at a work BBQ. Followed the recipe exactly and got more compliments than I can count. This is a great potato salad for a crowd because it isn't heavy on any one flavor. People said it is great basic potato sald without all the fluff people tend to put in these days.

This is a great basic potato salad. Quick and easy. I followed the directions to a tee. Next time I would add two more eggs, two Tbs of prepared mustard, and some additional salt. All and all a great starting base.

I added some powdered mustard and celery salt and it was very good! I would think it would be too bland without the addition of those spices. Everyone I served it to enjoyed it!

After all the great reviews I was surprised that I was so disappointed with this salad. The only change I made was to cut back the mayo by 1/2 cup and substitute with 1/2 cup of sour cream. With a better dressing this would have been good, but it tasted very greasy and oily to me. Not one I'll be making again.

I took the advice of Roxy52278 on this one... I added a Tablespoon each of mustard and relish as was suggested. Also, because we love green olives, I choppped up a handful of them and added those as well. I served it yesterday with our 4th of July spread and everyone loved it. This is a definite keeper!

This recipe is nearly identical to my mother's - it has been a hit at family gatherings for years. Even folks who don't normally eat leftovers manage to spirit away some of it away! (I'm one of those who hate mayo and eggs, but go figure - this is one of my favorite dishes!) Ours doesn't have the celery, and, for those who find the recipe here too bland, we use a fair amount of cayenne powder. When we were children, there were two bowls of this - one with Best Foods mayonnaise, and one with Miracle Whip. Now we're all happy with the Best foods version. Oh, and ours has about a tablespoon of prepared mustard. I agree with those who prefer to cube the potatoes first, it is quite difficult to get red potatoes cooked through and still retain the peel otherwise. Someone suggested sprinkling the salt, pepper, and vinegar on the potatoes while they are still warm - I think that is an excellent idea, but would only work if they had been cubed prior to cooking. I guess what I would suggest for those who have offered less than five stars is this: potato salad is a very traditional, familial dish. If you find a recipe too bland, or it lacks or includes ingredients which aren't your preference, tweak the recipe to suit yourself. This particular recipe has excellent proportions, and is a terrific base for your preferences. Great recipe!

Love this recipe. I have made it several times in the past three weeks. I have only changed two things -- I added a dash of mustard and reduced the mayo just a bit.

I loved this receipe but more important, my husband also loved it. I added bacon bits and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. I didn't have any celery so I increased the green onions and added celery seed. I thought it was perfect!

I was looking for something not too complicated to go with burgers tonight and I found this recipe. It sounded good so I gave it a try just as it was written. It was terrific, delicious....great!! I love to read the changes people do to the recipes here; however, sometimes it is so changed it doesn't even resemble the original....so when they rate it as great...what are they rating theirs or the original??? Love it "just as it is"..Thank you Donna. P.S. I always keep notes on the reicpes of variations people try...just in case.

Doesn't get much better. I followed the preportions in recipe, which were near perfect. Subed half mayo for sour cream. Used heavy cream for milk. Red onion. I could easily have stopped here because it tasted so good. I just have a hard time following directions, so, I added a touch of Worchester sauce, mustard, fresh dill, and cyanne pepper.

I would recommend cooking the potatoes slower so that they are not crunchy. Also, I added a little mustard and fresh dill. I felt that this enhanced the flavor tremendously. I would make it again but with my changes.

I made this yesterday for a picnic. I followed the recipe to the letter. Everyone liked it, I liked it also, had a nice dill flavor. I like a sweeter tangy mayo salad dressing. But how do you argue with success they ate it all. This is a keeper, I already printed it and its in my recipe box. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
