Fantastic potato salad!!! I added sliced radishes since we like them in the potato salad recipe that I usually make. I took this to our tailgating party at the NASCAR race this weekend and got lots of compliments. I will DEFINATELY make this again....it was quick and very easy.

Usually when I make potao salad it always seems like something is missing. This is the best I have ever made. We all couldn't get enough. My husband raved. Hard to beat his sister's recipe, but with this one I did. Thank you!!!

This is an excellent potato salad as is and also functions well as a base to add your own favorite "extras". I used red potatoes. In the past I've always cooked the potatoes in their jackets, and then peeled. However, this is more time-consuming (in my humble opinion) than peeling and cutting up first as this recipe suggests, so I tried it this way instead. It was much easier and faster, and the potatoes turned out great. I did find I only needed to cook them about 15 minutes once they came to a boil. Out of habit, I used 7 medium red potatoes. I didn't measure but figured this was more than 4 cups of potatoes. So I increased mayonnaise to 1 cup and prepared mustard to 1-1/2 teaspoons. I also used 4 hard-cooked eggs, slicing one to garnish the top of the salad (along with a sprinkling of paprika). I included ~1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper (or red bell pepper would be delicious and would add a little color). I also added 5 sweet gherkin pickles, finely chopped. One should feel free to experiment with adding vegetables, herbs, and spices according to their personal tastes, and this salad is a great start!

I lost my copy of this recipe that I cut out of the magazine and started to panic. Everyone I have ever served this to loved it and most ask for the recipe. Very happy I found it here so we can enjoy tonight!

This is a family favorite with these changes:I always double or triple it : ) ~ then, I add finely chopped dill pickles; substitute pickle juice for 1/2 of the vinegar called for & 1/2 Miracle Whip- 1/2 Hellman's Mayo for the mayonnaise. I make extra dressing ~ we like ours creamy. I keep some of the dressing back to moisten any leftover salad. [The sauce is excellent on burgers!] I leave out the green onions & increase the celery. YUM!
