I made this in a large quantity for a stag and doe and it was a big hit! Yummy and so easy to make.

We have found a new favorite! As the potatoes were boiling, I discovered I was almost out of mayo. So I substituted ranch dressing instead, and we love it! I want to use Shurfine's Bacon Ranch Dressing next time. I'm sure the bacon flavor will add even more to this recipe.

I love this recipe, as does my husband who is not a big potato fan. Just one problem - and it's probably just my dumb luck, but I had to cook my potatoes for nearly an hour! And even then they were still to crunchy and not soft enough for a salad. :oP I don't want mashed potates, but I hate crunchy potato salads!

I very much appreciate simple, basic recipes like this one. They get you started and allow you to be creative and REALLY cook. I add salt and pepper, cucumber (very tasty!), diced pickles, celery, and sometimes bits of cheese, along with paprika sprinkled on top. Oh, and bacon! Thank you for this recipe and for all the comments with suggestions for other ingredients!

This is the way potato salad is meant to be - simple and mouth-watering! Instead of the dressing, I used mayo.

This makes a very good basic recipe and was exactly what I was looking for. I added some chopped celery and threw in some bacon. Went over well with the guests.

All of those reviews are just silly. If you want a potato salad with celery and onions and paprika and other things, I'm sure you can find such a recipe on this website. Why mess with one whose entire appeal is its simplicity? Treating it as a "base" recipe is one thing, going on about all the extra things it "needs" is another. Great dish for the younger guests at summer BBQs, since lots of kids are picky about onions and things.

This is such a great basic recipe. I double this every time I make potato salad then split it and keep half the basic recipe and the other half I add in some "adult" ingredients (onions, sprinkle paprika, etc). It's a hit!

This recipe can be a five - with a few additions. I made exactly as directed - but added a couple tablespoons of mustard, some dill, salt, pepper, then of course the paprika on top! And it was the best potato salad I've made yet. :)

This is like my mother used to make and what our family still makes using Miracle Whip Salad Dressing, except we add salt and pepper to taste, finely minced onion also to taste, about a teaspoon of yellow mustard, and mix the whole diced egg in too. Be sure to use red potatoes boiled in their skins til fork tender, then cool in cold water, peel and dice. Mixed while still warm the flavors of the dressing will really meld with the potato and hard cooked diced egg. Chill for several hours or overnight for the best flavor!

This was a good recipe. I think it is a good base. I don't like lots of crunchy things in my potato salad. I would like more of a kick to the dressing - some kind of extra spice. Any ideas?? But I liked the simplicity of the rest of the ingredients.

I've made several batches of potato salad, recipes from this site and others. According to my fiance, this is the BEST I've ever made! That is only one reason I rated this 5 stars. Another reason it because it's so easy. I agree its laking seasoning, but I added salt and pepper and it's delicious. Thank you very much, Lisa!

I made this recipe for a Fourth of July barbecue. As a finishing touch, I crumbled some bacon over the top of it and mixed it in. It was a hit, and people were even asking if they could bring some home. :)

We made a huge batch of potato salad to take with us to the lake. We were feeding a ton of people so we more than doubled it and added some chopped onions, pickles and mustard. Very simple but tasty. Thanks Lisa.
