I don’t like egg in it; but otherwise that looks very good!

I add maybe a 1/4 cup sweet relish and tbsp mustard, use 4 eggs and don’t peel the potatoes. My mother’s recipe.

I make my mom’s recipe for potato salad, and it has a “secret” ingredient. It’s only secret because it isn’t sold where I live. I have to have friends bring it when they go home or order it over the internet.

That secret ingredient? Marzetti’s Country French dressing. It also makes the best chicken salad.... but that’s another thread.

Boil potatoes until tender. Peel them while hot, and cut into bite size pieces. Toss hot potatoes with Marzetti’s Country French dressing (give them a good coating) and then chill. When potatoes are chilled, add diced celery, diced hard boiled egg, celery seed, salt and mayo.

Yumminess on a plate.

Jonrick46, that’s how I make my potato salad, except I cook the eggs with the potatoes. They’re always perfectly done when the potatoes are. Then, I do add sweet relish, and I always add celery seed. It’s just not potato salad without celery seed, to me.
