New Red Potato Salad Reviews
Great potato salad for those who love red potatoes like I do. I added about a tablespoon each of dill relish and mustard though. Hint: cook the potatoes kind of slowly so the outside isnt too soft and the inside isnt too crunchy, ,like mine were the first time
Since I found this recipe a month ago, Ive made it at least 6 times (mainly for family & neighborhood get-togethers). Its received rave reviews at all. I love that you dont have to peel the potatoes. This saves alot of time if youre preparing for a larger crowd. I would suggest salting the potatoes before boiling and increasing the salt/pepper seasoning X 2. Otherwise, I wouldnt change a thing. This will be a staple in my collection. A perfect, creamy, crunchy potato salad.
This recipe turned out wonderfully. Having read the reviews, I added bacon, dill and red pepper to the mix and thought it tasted superb. I also used apple cider vinegar in place of distilled white, and wonder if red wine vinegar might also be yummy. Thanks for the recipe
An all time family favorite - with one change. I eliminate the vinegar and milk, and add granulated garlic (or garlic powder) to taste. Were not fond of vinegar in our potato salad, and the additional garlic flavor makes the dish Ive also made this dish using regular potatoes - peeled, and finely chopped yellow onions in place of green onions. Its very good I usually top with a sprinkling of paprika, parsley flakes and halved, hard-boiled eggs for presentation. Everyone asks for the recipe
I dont even like potato salad and I liked this one I was instructed to bring p. salad to a cookout so I grabbed this recipe. Added bacon bits and shredded cheddar cheese, and it was a huge hit This is now my designated dish at gatherings Thanks for changing my mind about potato salad :)
This is a delicious potato salad. I made it for a cookout and everyone loved it. I added crumbled, cooked bacon. I will definitely make this again.
I made some changes to modify our taste. With these changes, I think this is a great recipe and simple too. I omitted the eggs (dont care for eggs). I reduced mayo by 1/2. I added more green onions. I also added a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of celery seed and 1/4 teaspoon dill. Also, needed more salt than recipe stated. Per all recipes cooking potatoes tips, my potatoes were the perfect texture. I left the skins on cut them into bite-size chunks. Place them in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and salt the water. Keep the pot at a gentle boil and cook for approx. 8-15 minutes until tender and drain. Cool potatoes by spreading them on a baking sheet in a single layer. I never liked making potatoe salad because Id either have hard or mushy potatoes. If you follow the cooking steps, I think youll have perfectly cooked potatoes.
I was attracted to this recipe because I love green onions and prefer red potatoes to others. I took some suggestions from the Summer Potato Salad recipe on this site: I replaced the vinegar in this recipe with lemon juice, and the salt with seasoned salt. To cut down on the mayo I used 1/3 plain yogurt instead. I dont think the yogurt made a difference in the taste. But I thought it needed more flavor when I tried it so I did add a few tablespoons of dijon mustard, a lot of fresh parsley, and some salt. It turned out well.
This potato salad was bland, bland, bland. I didnt even have to ask my husband what he thought of it - his face told all He said it was a little bit better with some mustard in it, but it still wasnt that good. The only good thing about it was that it improved with age. 2 days later it tasted much better.
My newly-wed daughter made this potato salad for thanksgiving,now the family has make it her job to always make it for any and all holidays. Thanks Mamabear
This recipe is nearly identical to my mothers - it has been a hit at family gatherings for years. Even folks who dont normally eat leftovers manage to spirit away some of it away (Im one of those who hate mayo and eggs, but go figure - this is one of my favorite dishes) Ours doesnt have the celery, and, for those who find the recipe here too bland, we use a fair amount of cayenne powder. When we were children, there were two bowls of this - one with Best Foods mayonnaise, and one with Miracle Whip. Now were all happy with the Best foods version. Oh, and ours has about a tablespoon of prepared mustard. I agree with those who prefer to cube the potatoes first, it is quite difficult to get red potatoes cooked through and still retain the peel otherwise. Someone suggested sprinkling the salt, pepper, and vinegar on the potatoes while they are still warm - I think that is an excellent idea, but would only work if they had been cubed prior to cooking. I guess what I would suggest for those who have offered less than five stars is this: potato salad is a very traditional, familial dish. If you find a recipe too bland, or it lacks or includes ingredients which arent your preference, tweak the recipe to suit yourself. This particular recipe has excellent proportions, and is a terrific base for your preferences. Great recipe
I had been looking for a great, quick potato salad recipe(i had never made it from scratch before), and this was superb great tasting and easy to make.
Brand new favorite in our house. We do find its too much mayo so we add it to taste. Also, try it with red wine vinegar instead of white. Its an amazing transformation.
This is absolutely the best potato salad I have ever eaten Incredible I modified it ever so slightly, adding only a splash of milk and vinegar rather than the full amount called for. I also used half sour cream and half mayo. I also added celery salt, onion powder, parsley, and garlic powder and used only egg whites. It actually tasted like a homemade ranch dressing, so good I took it to my family reunion and there were no leftovers. I will never again make another potato salad--thanks for an amazing recipe
I cut back on the mayonnaise a little. I just added it by the half cup until it looked about right. For our family, this potato salad was a great base but we think it needs a little "oomph". Id make this again but Id add some spices next time.
I add 3 tablespoons of Dijon Mustard, one bunch of scallons and 1 box of pre-cooked bacon.I put the potatoes and a large mixing bowl and add the chopped up scallons. I microwave the bacon and set aside 4 pieces. Next I crumble up the bacon and put it in the bowl and mix. Next I add the dijon mustard to the mayo mixture , mix it into the potatoes, add the eggs and mix again. Finally I pour the potato salad into a dish and top with the remaining crumbled bacon. I have attached a pic as well.
This is a great potato salad, i added shredded cheddar cheese and some bacon chopped to it, ive been asked to bring this to BBQs several times.
As with all recipes on this site, I make it a habit to read reviews before I start. This is what I did, I cut the vinegar & milk in half added hard boiled egg white (no yolk)a Tbs. of Miracle Whip, half a dill pickle, a squirt of mustard and a couple shakes of celery seed. My 10 and 12 yr old daughters are not picky eaters, they do however have their opinions, they absolutely LOVED it.
Very Yummy I had everything in my kitchen to make this. I also added a little bit of Pampered Chef dill mix. I will definitely make this again.
Good potato salad, nice flavor, I made for a neighbor and he really enjoyed it.
Wonderful potato salad recipe I made this for Christmas to go with the Ham, it was great I added some dill, and also paprika for color. Thanks, I will be making this one again
I made this for my neighbors and the absolutly loved it...I will definitely make it again
This is a great recipe and close to what I have been looking for. I cut the potatoes before cooking and added a tbs. of vinegar while cooking. This keeps the potatoes firm after cooking. I supstituted yellow mustard for the vinegar and it turned out like I wanted. The oringinal recipe was fine but I had to adjust to what I was looking for.
Absolutely delicious I decided to make potato salad for our July 4th dinner and I found this recipe and decided to try it. I was a little scared though, since some of the people reviewing it said that it was missing things, etc. but I didnt find this to be true at all. I stuck to the recipe 100% and I only had a tiny bit left at the end of the night. Ill definitely make this again and again
Very good potato salad. I did make some changes. I used spicy brown mustard, crumbled bacon and red wine vingar. That is how we always eaten it.Donna A.
I added bacon and doubled the salt/pepper. I also added a splash of mustard and paprika for some color. EXCELLENT tata salad
This was great. I had a little problem with getting the potatoes just right, but the sauce was delicious. I will definitely make this again with cooking my potatoes longer.Thanks for the recipe
Delicious. As with all mayo-type potato salads, be careful not to overcook the potatoes - like I did.
This is a great recipe. I used cider vinegar in place of the white distilled vinegar and used half low-fat mayonnaise and half regular mayonnaise. My whole family loved it.
This is one of my favorite potato salad recipes. One comment is that you need to keep it cold. It doesnt really taste all that great warm. Cant wait to make again. Thanks for the post.
This salad came out great I used balsamic vinegar instead of white and added diced red peppers for color. I also added a little bit of fresh dill. Yum
So wonderful I read the reviews and added 4 chopped hard-boiled eggs and 1 lb. cooked bacon. I also used Red-Wine Vinegar. It was super Everyone just loved it. It is great as a side dish on those hot summer days when you are grilling out and dont want to heat up the oven.
This is now my favorite potato salad and I make it for parties and holidays. I add chopped dill pickles, finely chopped red onion, and sprinkle paprika on top. Its delicious
These were good. I did add a bit of chopped green olives and some oregano for flavor.
I made this recipe for 40 people. It turned out great. Everyone loved it. GREAT RECIPE
Very tasty but still on the search for the perfect potato salad.
My husband thinks I am the queen of potato salad thanks to this recipe. It is very good. I dont use green onions, I use chopped sweet ones instead. I also add diced dill pickles and a little mustard. Yummy
Made a few modifications: I used dijon mustard in place of the milk, rice vinegar in place of white, added a couple more eggs, and used miracle whip light. Held up nicely for several days. Very good traditional recipe.
This recipe is incredibly easy, but tastes awesome A few simple adjustments on my end (more onion, no celery), but I loved it. I like not having to peel the potatoes, and the red gives it some color
Excellent My family loved this easy, easy, easy potato salad. My advice: if you follow the recipe, as is, add some sugar to counter balance the vinegar.YUMMY
Exellent. I only need one potato salad recipe ... and this is it. The only modification I made was to add some cooked bacon. Definately a keeper
I only use 1 cup of mayonaise; I also add a tablespoon of worcestershire sauce and some spicy brown mustard. Everyone raves
Great for summer Loved it I added some more seasoning to spice it up a bit.
This is very similar to one Ive been making for years, but I dont add vinegar or milk. Red Potatoes, Eggs, Mayo, Red Onion, Celery chopped, and chopped radishes. Ive gotten a lot of compliments and its my only sure dish.
Im going to be making this all summer. We barbeque a lot and this is a no fail potato salad. Ive used other types of potato besides red potatoes. All taste great thanks
This was a very good base recipe. I feel that it needs more vinegar and perhaps some herbs (dill?) to liven it up. Having said that, this is the type of potato salad that I prefer and I will make it again with modifications. Thanks for the recipe
Y-U-HUMMY This is an excellent basic recipe for Potato salad...I cooked my potatoes a little longer so they were firm but soft in the centre, and I added a little dill...its was awesome. I will definitely make this recipe again. Thanks
By far the best potato salad I have had. I didnt have any celery, but it still came out terrific. I will be bringing this to all the barbecues
This was very bland, even after I added dill. Absolutely way too much mayonnaise - unless you really like it - and I had cut it in half. If I make this again, I would definitely add garlic, fresh herbs (dill or maybe tarragon?) and possibly some mustard - it really needs something.
Very easy and very delicious
This is a very good potato salad. I didnt have green onion so I used yellow onion instead and I used about a 1-2 teaspoons of sugar to tone down the bitterness of the vinegar as suggested by a previous review. I think next time I will use less vinegar and less mayo, but otherwise a very good recipe.
Great recipe Im giving it four stars since I took the recommended changes and will also do some more the next time around. First, my tweaks as per other reviewers: I used one cup of mayo, one cup of green onions, one tablespoon dijon mustard, one tablespoon of wshire sauce ... but kept everything else the same. The dressing, initially, tasted overwhelmingly like onions but it was plenty to cover the potatoes. I figured the flavors would settle overnight. Next day, I tasted and the salad was actually sort of bland I was surprised. I added in at least another teaspoon or two of salt and pepper and a bunch of paprika. I was thinking Id add more dijon mustard or wshire next time and I may have to go through and read other reviewers and see what they did
This is good Everyone liked it when I took it to a cookout. I add a "squirt" of dijon mustard to it for a little different flavor. I sometimes also add relish. Yummm
I have been making thei for every barbecue that we have and every party that we have. My family and friends just love it. Sometimes my sister-in-law and I eat it while it is still warm
This recipe is super easy and very good.I ommited the milk and added 1/2 tbs of mustard. I will make this again
I am not going to give this any less then five stars because I only used the recipe as a general guide to make potato salad. So I will just leave you with some info. I used regular baking potatos since the red ones at the store didnt look apealing. I used a couple eggs and maybe half a celery sliced super thin for a little crunch. I used salt, pepper, celery seeds,dill, and mustard powder. Combined with mayo and a dash of milk and lemon juice and a little squirt of regular mustard. This turned out very good and easy to make. Dont be intimidated to improvise when making potato salad. I found if you taste the seasonings before adding them to the potatos you can gage what is laking or needs adjusting. Good luck Happy eating
This is a great recipe. I made it pretty much as is, but I did take some of the suggestions in other reviews and added a little dry mustard and some bacon bits. I also added a little Cajun seasoning to add some zip. Im taking it to a cookout tomorrow -- cant wait to hear the compliments. Thanks for the recipe
I took the advice of Roxy52278 on this one... I added a Tablespoon each of mustard and relish as was suggested. Also, because we love green olives, I choppped up a handful of them and added those as well. I served it yesterday with our 4th of July spread and everyone loved it. This is a definite keeper
This is the only potato salad recipe I will ever use again. I get requests for the recipe and also get asked to make this for lots of summer picnics and parties. very easy to make. always have ingredients on hand.thanks for the recipe.
Wonderful, traditional potato salad. I add about 3/4 tsp. of mustard but that was the only change. Everyone loves it.
Excellent and easy recipe. I used balsamic vinegar which gave the salad a wonderful flavour. Also doubled the salt/pepper, added a couple of finely chopped dill pickles, and toppedwith paprika for colour. Everyone loved it and Im making it again tonight
I tried this recipe and I have to admit, the potatoes were a bit too firm. I know I should have cooked them longer than 15 min and I will add at least 5 more min to the cook time. Aside from that, the flavor was great and the prep was easy. I am going to give it one more try before I bring it too an event.
This is my first time making potato salad, and it turned out great. A little tart though, I added about 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and I used sweet relish instead of celery.Higly recommended recipe
This was great Brought it to a 4th of July party and got a ton of compliments. Note: I used only 1/2 cup of mayo (because thats all I had) and it was low fat and it was still great No need to pile on the extra calories and fat if you dont need to. It will still be great.
Awesome I substituted 1/2c sour cream for some of the mayo and added dill. So delicious and easy
Good potato salad, would add some bacon next time. Would give it a little more flavor. I also added dill.
As is, this is OK. I found it to be pretty bland, personally. But with these modifications, it was great I mixed some grey poupon in with the mayo mixture and added dill and a little garlic salt to give it the kick it seemed to be missing.
This was incredibly yummy. My only change was to add some dijon mustard to give it a kick. Will definately make this again.
Easy since you dont have to peel the potatoes. I used regular size (not baby) red potatoes, and they needed to boil 22-25 minutes. I left out the eggs, added dry dill and parsley for some color and flavor. Made the day ahead--it was a little dry the next day, so added some mayo and milk to make it creamier. It is a delicious basic potato salad---will definitely make again.
I had been looking for a great red potato salad recipe and this is exactly what I wanted I pretty much followed the recipe as its written with only a few modifications: I added a little sugar since it was a little tart from the mayonaise and vinegar, used half mayo - half Miracle Whip (salad dressing) to help take away some of the tartness, apple cider vinegar, extra salt and pepper, seasoned salt, and a little extra green onion and celery for more flavor and crunch. My mother, who is a brutal food critic, loves it and ORDERS me to make this for every family occasion My church members also fell in love with it and are still asking me for the recipe
This is an excellent recipe. I have made it several times for various cookouts and have been asked for the recipe many times. Thanks alot for sharing.
The combination of ingredients is nice, but when I made this, the overall taste was too mild. I will make this again, but with WAY more salt/vinegar.
Great potato salad recipe. I did not change anything and it came out great. I had to stop myself from doing too much "sampling". Thank you for sharing it :)
I dont make potato salad that often because I never seem to have a great recipe. They are always just so so. This was really good. I made half of the recipe. I used about 1 lb. of potatoes and red wine vinegar in place of the white. I think it could have used a little more mayo so I added some Miracle Whip to change it up. I skipped the eggs just to save time. In place of the green onions I used McCormick Minced Onion Blend. I was only able to refrigerate this about an hour so Im betting it will be great tomorrow. Two thumbs up here.
This was great I did a tiny bit of tweaking (omitted eggs, added 1 tsp dry mustard powder, subd lemon juice for the vinegar, and used half Miracle Whip as someone else suggested). Diced potatos before boiling. Sorry if I changed it "too much" but this isnt the way I normally make potato sald so thank you for the idea. Very simple and turned out fantastic. Was better the next day.
I love potato salad and this was delicious I did not add any vinegar, I wasnt sure if I would like it or not. I overcooked the potatoes a bit but it didnt take anything away from it all. Yummy
EXCELLENT I made a slight change I also added Fresh dill and a few diced up dill pickles.
I thought this potato salad was good but not great. I much prefer more of a vinegar taste in my potato salad and I didnt think there was enough in this recipe. Next time I will tweak a bit and add apple cider vinegar and add it to potatoes when warm to absorb more of the flavor. I used less mayo and eggs then called for, and still thought it was a bit much. Overall people liked this at my last cookout, so I will give it 4 stars.
I also added 1 tsp each paprika,mustard and relish.also 1/4 of chopped red onion.,i made it for a family christmas party and everyone raved about it.thanks for making me look goodeveryone was asking how i made it
Once again, Allrecipes delivers I made this potato salad for 80 people at a work BBQ. Followed the recipe exactly and got more compliments than I can count. This is a great potato salad for a crowd because it isnt heavy on any one flavor. People said it is great basic potato sald without all the fluff people tend to put in these days.
We had a family get together and everyone loved this. Thanks so much for the post.
I love this potato salad recipe. I veganized it and friends didnt even know the difference. (i.e. use vegan subs. for mayo/dairy and skip eggs) I also use lemon juice and a little cider vinegar instead of the white vinegar and add some grey poupon and I think adding the mustard is what makes it. I also sprinkle some parsley and paprika over the top to make it pretty.
This recipe is GREAT It gets great reviews from everyone and I love it for the simplicity. I followed some of the other reviews & added salt when boiling the potatoes and doubled the amount of salt & pepper in the mix. Tastes just as good without the green onions too.
Very very good. I was scraping the bottom of my mayo jar, didnt have a full 1 1/2c. but it didnt ruin a thing. I did add a tiny bit of powdered Keens Mustard (with a tiny bit of milk). I also used white wine vinegar as I was too lazy to fetch the regular from the basement. A simple, quick and tasty recipe especially if you are pressed for time in the preparation. I did the potatoes and eggs earlier in the day and when I was ready to mix together - it was in the fridge in less than 30 min. & with plenty of time to get cold before the BBQ. Most assuredly on my repeat list.
I made this for a work BBQ and was asked for the recipe by many. I used suggestion by others and added bacon, red pepper and used apple cider vinegar.
My daughter and I made this last night and loved it. I like how there isnt a need for any fancy ingredients. Really good recipe.
I thought this was good, but hubby and the kids didnt like it at all. No fault of the recipes, just their personal taste I guess.
I made this yesterday for Mothers Day and it was a huge hit. I forgot to grab green onions the night before while I was at the store and substituted the green onion for red onion. This was very good and everyone ranted and raved about how delicious this was.
WOW I finally found a recipe that tops my moms potato salad. I added a small amount of bacon to this and it was perfect. There is nothing I would change.
This was yummy I brought it to a cookout and everyone wanted the receipe.Thanks
This was a very good basic, potato salad. I used red onion insead of green, forgot the milk and added some dijon mustard.
This was a very good creamy potato salad, only thing I did different was to add crumbled bacon and also 1-1/2 tblsp. chipotle mustard. Gave it a kick of flavor. Also replaced green onion with red onion. Delicious.
It was a great creamy potato salad. as is it was a little bland so i cut down the mayo by 1/2c and subbed sour cream and added extra garlic and spice to my taste. overall very good basic recipe that you can elaborate to your own style.
This turned out quite good. We all enjoyed and will make again.
This is the best Ive had I always thought my Mother made the best, but must change my mind. I didnt even get a chance to refrigerate finished product before my family starting digging in. My husband said it was better than his grandmothers. A must have for any recipe box Thanks for sharing.
This was the first time I ever made potato salad. I got really good feedback from everyone. I didnt use all of the mayo (just used one cup). Also, I added bacon.
This is the easiest, best potato salad Ive ever made. Its even soooooo much better than Ina Gartens ... and I absolutely love Ina First made this for July 4th and the family absolutely loved it Im making it again tonight If you like classic red potato salad you will LOVE this recipe
I added some powdered mustard and celery salt and it was very good I would think it would be too bland without the addition of those spices. Everyone I served it to enjoyed it
FINALLY, a recipe for good old fashioned potato salad. Didnt change a thing and it came out perfect...well, so our family and friends said on Saturday. I, too, had to stop myself from sampling so thered be enough for our BBQ...lol.
