This was nothing extraordinary. Will stick with my mayo/sour cream/garlic based potato salad.

excellent start. proportions a little bit off so I tweaked them a little. I also am not a fan of sweet pickles so I omitted those, added a mish mash of my favorite spices and it was excellent.

Very good - the pickles make the salad.

This is just like the salad I make except that I add sliced green olives and diced cucumbers and omit the green peppers, and I add a little more mayo.

Needs a few tweaks to rate a 5 but not bad for a substitute to grocery store potato salad.

Made this for a potluck affair. Made about 7 lbs of spuds so had to tweek recipe. Thought 16oz. sweet pickle sounded like too much so I used appx 6oz "DILL" relish. I doubled the mustard and added more mayo as needed. This was the first empty tray on the table. Also add crumbled bacon if you can. Thanx

This tastes just like the Costco Potato Salad which is my favorite. I added paprika and celery salt at the end and I added only 3 tablespoons of relish. Thanks for the great recipe.

Lotsa people get weirded out over potato salad. Everyone has their preferences, but this is a great "middle of the road" recipe that should please most. This was very easy to make - loved it.

I was so excited to try this recipe! With 84 reviews and 4.5 stars, I figured I couldn't go wrong...but I did! This is really a very B-L-A-N-D potato salad! I followed the recipe as instructed, except I used sweet pickle relish rather than cubed sweet pickles. It looked too dry, so I added more mayonnaise and then tasted it. It was SO bland! So, I added a little more black pepper, and a healthy amount of celery seed and paprika. I still found it just "missing something," so I added a little more mustard. No dice. Finally, because someone here mentioned she had done so, I put a little red wine vinegar in it. That gave it a little kick, but this still is missing that "twang" I think a good potato salad should have. Maybe it needs some DILL pickles - maybe that is what is missing. Sadly, I won't make this recipe again. :o( SORRY!

This is something like my potato salad but I add sour cream. No pickles. Also garlic wine vinegar. Celery seed also. I have people begging me for the recipe.

I really love red potatoes, and this recipe is awesome. I made a few changes such as adding a jalapeno (to taste), a 1/2 can of red beans,and a red bellpepper (delicious, and adds sweet instead of the sugar!). I also had to up the mayo a little but halved the amt with miracle whip and mayo. Other additions...oregano, paprika. Just have fun with it! You can put anything in it, and it will always taste wonderful. ;)

a simple, classic potato salad - I skipped the relish and mustard (personal preference) and added extra salt. It was fabulous - nothing fancy , just classic. perfect.

Very good. I added a dash of vinegar, less pickles and more mayo. Make sure you let it refreigerate for a few hours before serving.

I made boiled potatoes for dinner last night & boiled the whole 5 lb bag. I found this today. Our standard pot. salad has mustard, miracle whip and eggs w/celery seed. These reviews were encouraging so I tried it. Hubby is not much of a pot salad man, but he did say this is probably the best pot salad he's ever tasted. I added everything in moderation. I had about 3 lbs of pot, added 2 eggs (I looked up mrbreakfast.com for proper egg cooking instructions lol)1/4 of a lg red onion, 2 kitchen tspns of sweet pickle relish, and the bottom 1/3 of a huge green bell pepper. I added 2 or 3 rubber spatula sized dollups of miracle whip and just squeezed enough mustard in until it looked "right". It's all really what your tastes are. I had no celery, so didn't add any. No sugar needed. Used my egg slicer to cut up my eggs - just manuvered them as I went. Not as long as the Ready In time said for me :0) I will put this in the cookbok! Thanks
