Perhaps, I should say, again?
My memory is not what it once was!

How do youall master cooks make it dish?

Miracle Whip

Miracle Whip and a few dashes of Maggi

Hmmmm…DYI guy in hiding?? Please get help!!!

Dukes!!

Just stocked up on Dukes.

There is no other.

So, no spuds, no onions, just dressing?
It does seem a bit strange to me, but---?

Dukes was found in the pyramids. It's that good.

you're right. Back to your OP.

Red potatoes boiled whole and cubed. Skin on for me.
Chopped celery, onions and sometimes match stick carrots and sometimes sautéed.
Dukes…noooooooo Miserable Whip!!!!
Salt, pepper and Tonys!!
Vinegar…sometimes
Salt and pepper…as is.
Pickles…hmmmm…not very often. Mom always includes.
Old Bay…sometimes. Depends on the main dish.
Boiled eggs….not really!!

Waaa Laaa!!

there are as many ways to make 'tater salad as there are cooks. My way is best of course, David comes real close, but his exclusion of pickle relish is suspect.
Redskin potatoes, boiled whole, skin on, and not cooked to freaking mush
Dukes (Or Hellmanns in a pinch)
Yeller mustard
salt, fresh black pepper
pickle relish
fine diced sweet onion
chopped scallions and some fine diced red bell pepper for color
Paprika on top.
For me, that's the way to do it

I've been making "taterless" tater salad using dice turnips instead of potatoes.

boiled turnips, diced to about 1/2"

one bunch spring unions, diced

1-2 tsp. Wickles pickle relish

hard boiled eggs, diced

REAL mayo

sour cream

A little S&P

This works for my low carb. diet! And, tastes pretty darn good!

vb, that's something new on me. Might have to try the turnips some time.

Viola!

Now, swap the Miracle Whip (spit) for the boiled eggs and you'll be onto something!

Are you guys asleep at the wheel because I haven't seen fresh dill from the garden mentioned in any of the above ?

Love hard boiled eggs in mine as well. The eggs just seem to enhance the flavor of the potatoes (reds) themselves.

This man knows how to make a potato salad! Only heathens would forgot the paprika.

Now my wife makes what I guess is a Russian style potato salad and uses sour crème instead of mayo, and adds chicken and dill. Pretty good stuff in it's own right, but not what I think of as a classic potato salad.

NO PICKLES!!

+1

I also like using oven roasted potatoes

Back in the day, I used Miracle Whip in different things. But, I was young and dumb.

I'm all grown up now, so it's Hellman's or Dukes.

Always finish potato salad with paprika on top.

I use them about 50% of the time. Depends on what phase of the moon and high or low tide.

You guys got the basic recipe but I add a spoon of sour cream (adds to the Miracle Whip )

I also add some bacon and recently I added a good chunk of blue cheese.

Of course, nothing says, the salad must be the same each time.

I made Irish Potato Salad once.
Diced potatoes, chopped green onions, half mayo, half sour cream. Not bad.

I've tried making it a few times with marginal success and the store bought stuff I've tried wasn't very good so I don't eat much potato salad.
Then last summer I had some friends from WY over for a little BBQ so I picked up a couple of pounds at the Wall Mart deli. Believe it or not it was some of the best I've had and my friends raved about it. When I told em were I got it my friends wife giggled and whispered, thanks for the info I buy it too.

I don't like mustard in mine
