Amazing Potato Salad Recipe

I love Potato Salad. Surprisingly I didn’t start loving it until I was an adult. You see, my mom is the potato salad queen! She made it all the time, and I grew bored of it. We had it for holidays, Sunday dinners, and a couple more times throughout the week! It wasn’t until I moved out on my own and made it only on occasions that I really started liking the stuff.

Being the daughter of a Potato Salad Queen, I learned several ways to make potato salad. I actually prefer my salad simple and to the point. I don’t want a million flavors in my ” ‘tato salad”! Here is an amazing potato salad for you and yours to enjoy. Don’t forget to leave me a comment below and let me know what you think!

    HELLO HUN,

    BEEN CHECKING YOU OUT LATELY AND YOU SEEM TO BE A GREAT COOK BUT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO USE RUSSET POTATOES TO MAKE POTATOE SALAD, BECAUSE ONCE COOKED THEY TTURN TO MASH POTATOES ONCE STIRRED. ALL PURPOSE POTATOES IS A BETTER OPTION, RUSSET IS ONLY GOOD FOR BAKING OR MASHING.

    THANKS A MILLION!!

      Hi there. I actually never had a problem using russet potatoes. That’s all I ever use for potato salad. I thank you for your opinion 🙂
