Wasn't sure at first how sour cream would work in potato salad but it was really good.
I'm an old southern woman and this is hands down, the best recipe ever! The only change I made was adding a little dill weed. Perfect.
Delicious
Delicious!!!!!!!! I substituted sweet pickle relish instead of vinegar. This recipe is a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great potato salad! This recipe reminds me a lot of the potato salad I get at McAlister's. Has a nice crunch, and is slightly tangy. 2/14/18
Excellent recipe as is and deserving of blue ribbon. It is a good basic recipe that can serve as a platform for individual taste tweaks. This is almost the recipe I grew up with, in fact I like this one a tad bit more. The texture is creamy AND crunchy which to me is essential.
Delicious. We like the combination of the Sour Cream and Mayonnaise. I sometimes increase the egg and add chopped Green or Red peppers. A keeper!
This was good. I eliminated the sugar and the sour cream. Had someone who was lactose intolerant here for dinner. It still tasted good. Will make again the same way. Thanks for the recipe.
Found this recipe when I had a luncheon day after New Years and I was serving ham sandwiches leftover from baked ham. Delicious. Could have eaten it all myself. Didn't have sour cream on hand so used all mayonnaise. Came out fine. Nice combination of tart and sweet seasonings. Went very well with ham sandwiches.
Simple and tasty. Very easy to make for a week night side dish.
