Hellmann's the Original Potato Salad

aHardDaysNight's Note:

A longtime favorite of my family. We don't have an outdoor summer gathering without this and Hellmann's Classic Pasta Salad. Can't go wrong with these delicious recipes. FYI: because of the mayo content, we put the bowl of salad into a slightly larger-sized bowl filled halfway with ice to keep the salads cold and fresh.

This is absolutely delicious! I would not do a thing differently! I chopped the celery on the small side. I also used vidalia onion and soaked it in water to remove the sharp bite. After chilling the salad overnight, for an extra pretty salad, add a third hard-boiled egg, slice in nice rounds and add it on top for garnish before serving. Sprinkle with a little paprika.

This recipe is a family favorite! I found it on the back of a jar of Hellmanns. I used it for my son's 1st birthday party ~ He is now 30 years old!! We have used this recipe all these years for every family party! Wouldn't think of using any other, because this is the best!! Make sure you always use Helmanns mayo thought ~ I used the store brand once and it came out runny and didn't taste as good.

This is the same recipe my Mom used to make. I haven't had this in a long time and I was craving it. I used bread and butter pickles instead of the celery by personal choice. Made for PAC 2011 Spring.
