Anyone have a REALLY good potato salad recipe?

Going to a friend's house Sunday and they are BBQing and we are bringing the sides.

Re: Anyone have a REALLY good potato salad recipe?

i hate it with mayo. we make it with vinegar

boil potatoes ad peel
cut up cucumbers and red onion
salt pepper olive oil and vinegar. refrigerate so it is chilled

its more like a reg salad swapping lettuce with potatoes

Re: Anyone have a REALLY good potato salad recipe?

15 Baby Red Potatoes, Quartered
Mayo (to Taste)
3 Scallions, Chopped
5 Eggs, Hardboiled and Sliced
Salt & Pepper (to taste)

Boil potatoes and let cool. Mix in Scallions, Eggs, Salt, Pepper and Mayo. Let sit for a few hours to overnight.

It's soooo good.

Rachel Ray's Loaded Baked Potato Salad is the bomb. It's so fatty but sooooooo delicious.

***I only used 1 lb bacon

7 pounds baking potatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
2 pounds bacon, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
2 sticks (1/2 pound) butter, softened
2 pints sour cream
Salt and pepper
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
1 pound cheddar cheese, shredded

Preheat the oven to 400°. Pierce the potatoes with a fork; brush with oil. Bake until tender, 1 hour. Let cool, then cut into bite-size pieces.

In a skillet, cook the bacon until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain.

In a large bowl, combine the butter and sour cream; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the potatoes, bacon, scallions and cheese. Serve at room temperature.

Re: Anyone have a REALLY good potato salad recipe?

2 lb small red or white potatoes 1 kg
1 cup HELLMANN'S® Real, Light or Ultra Low Fat Mayonnaise 250 mL
2 tbsp HELLMANN'S® DIJONNAISE Creamy Mustard 30 mL
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill or parsley 30 mL
2 tbsp white vinegar 30 mL
1/2 tsp salt 2 mL
1/4 tsp pepper 1 mL
1 cup chopped celery 250 mL
1/2 cup chopped green onions 125 mL
Preparation Instructions
1) Cook potatoes in boiling salted water 15 minutes or until tender.
2) Drain well, cool and cut into quarters.
3) In large bowl combine mayonnaise, Dijonnaise, dill, vinegar, salt and pepper.
4) Stir in potatoes, celery and onion.
5) Cover and chill 1 hour to blend flavours.

I love this one from Hellmans. I leave the skin on the red potatoes. I don't bother with the Dijonnaise. I just use regular Dijon mustard. In a pinch even Gouldens is fine. Sometimes I use diced red onion instead of scallions. This dressing is great on Chicken or Shrimp Salad too.
