How to make Potato Salad – Delicious Potato Salad Recipe!
Potato Salad is delicious, especially if you make it to your liking!
One of my favorite salads is potato salad. I love eating eat and I love making it. It’s one of those salads where you don’t need to measure anything, it’s just a question of putting ingredients you like. Want to check out how I make mine? You can use my basic recipe and customize it to your liking.
How to make Potato Salad – Delicious Potato Salad Recipe
Ingredients:
– Potatoes (I like using baby potatoes. I often buy multicolored ones, they give the salad nice color.)
– Carrots (I use multicolored carrots.)
– Hard Boiled Eggs (I only use the whites.)
– Celery
– Scallions
– Fresh Dill
– Mayonnaise or Salad Dressing (I use Mayonnaise Dressing with Olive Oil.)
– Salt and Pepper
** I’m not specifying the quantity of any of the ingredients, as it really depends on your taste and how much potato salad you want to make.
Instructions:
– Wash the potatoes. Cut them in small pieces (I keep the skin on), place them in a pot of water, and boil them until they reach your desired texture. (I like mine between firm and mushy.) Strain them and allow them to cool completely.
– Once the potatoes are cooled, place them in a large container.
– Chop the carrots, celery, and scallions. Place them in the container with the potatoes.
– Cut the hard-boiled eggs (I use the whites only) into small pieces and place them in the container.
– Chop dill and sprinkle it over the contents of the container.
– Mix in the mayonnaise. Add as much mayonnaise as you like.
– Add salt and pepper to taste.
– Taste the potato salad to see if you need to add anything. Perhaps you need to add more dill, mayonnaise, or more salt & pepper? Or maybe it’s not crunchy enough, if so add more carrots and celery.
– Once you like the taste of the potato salad, store it in the fridge. I like to store it in the fridge at least 2-4 hours before serving.
Enjoy!

Delicious Potato Salad made to your liking!
So as you can see, potato salad is easy to make. It’s a question of following your taste.
If you like your salad more mushy, boil the potatoes longer.
If you like your salad crunchy, don’t boil the potatoes as long.
Add and remove ingredients to your liking.
Follow your taste buds and you’ll have yourself a delicious salad. :)
What’s your favorite salad or perhaps you have a few?
Have a FABULOUS day!
We prefer a mustard potato salad, but we have recently found a mayo free potato salad that we just LOVE and since its mayo free, its better for fat old ladies like ourselves!
I’ve heard of mustard potato salad, but I have never tried it. Is it just mustard or do you mix it with something else?
Thanks so much for stopping by Leah :)
You use mustard and mayo to make it, also they often put dill pickles in it. Since I hate celery, we don’t put it in ours.
Wow! That looks incredible. I’m so impressed. Pinned and tweeted. We appreciate you stopping by to party with us. We hope to see you, tonight at 7 pm. Happy Monday! Lou Lou Girls
I love potato salad and usually make the egg-potato salad but this one looks enticing too.I will probably try it fo a change.It looks so lovely with all the colors in it.
Hi Christine! I love potato salad and my family does too. Your recipe looks delicious so I’ll definitely be giving it a try. I never thought to add egg. We do prefer our potatoes more cooked – almost mashed potato like, but your version is much prettier. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my I LOVE potato salad, I forget how much until I see it again!
This looks lovely with all the colour.
I can’t think of spring/summer without thinking of potato salad. Yours looks so good! I’m going to have to bring this to my family’s Memorial Day cookout!
I would love it if you would share this on my weekly link party : )
