Mama's Potato Salad

I love to try new potato salad recipes, and this is very traditional. I must confess, I've never put sugar in potato salad before, and it's not my favorite. I made this more savory with pickles and dill relish, but I think a lot of people prefer the sweet taste. I also doubled the eggs (personal preference), but I'll post as written. Overall, I'd say this recipe is a classic and very good. It's just not my style. Recipe courtesy of Taste of Home and Sandra Anderson New York, New York. Show more
