Vinegar…sometimes wink
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!!

Viola! smile

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


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

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

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


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.


Always finish potato salad with paprika on top.

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

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.
