Potato Salad

Submitted by Charlotte J

"My sis in law used Idaho Russet, she also told me she uses light mayonnaise when making her salad. Add as much or as little of the sauce depending how dry/moist you like your salad."

Way too sweet for my family. None of us liked the creamy texture of the mashed potatoes either. I guess I will go back to my basic recipe.

Too sweet for us with the relish and Miracle Whip, and none of us enjoyed the texture of the salad at all. I don't think we will have this again. Thanks for posting it though!

I followed the ingredients for this recipe except no onions and used 1/2 the amt of mustard. I like everything about this potato salad except for the amt of mustard; the taste permeates and overshadows the rest of the great flavors. Made for Wonders 2008

Awesome! This is great warm or cold, but especially warm! I used mayonnaise in place of miracle whip, but otherwise no changes. Loved the mustardy flavor. I'll be sure to make this for some future picnics. Thanx for sharing!

The Perfect Potato Salad! When I discovered in the directions that the potatoes were first to be mashed, I knew this was the Perfect Potato Salad for Dan'l. The first thing he does before eating potato salad, is to mash the salad with his fork! Charlotte has eliminated this step, so Dan'l will be able to deliver it directly to his mouth ; ) This salad has the perfect combination of sweet to tart balance. I ended up having to use half Miracle Whip and half mayonnaise because I ran out in mid-recipe. The mayonnaise worked very well in its place. I followed Charlotte's directions otherwise, to a T for the perfect potato salad. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this recipe with us, Charlotte!
