Okay folk's it's getting close to the Fourth of July! We need to start planning the fun foods to feed everyone. I made up this potato salad recipe when I first married. My mother-in-law told me for our first family reunion I was to bring potato salad. Well teaching myself to cook I boiled some potatoes and while they cooked I cut up some onion, pickles, and celery. When the potatoes were done I added mayo, and mustard and a little pickle juice and a splash of milk and the cut up veggies and I whipped up the mixture and scooped it into my grandmother's favorite bowl I still have. I top the salad with a dash of paprika. I hope you will try this and enjoy. Thank's Kathy W.

Thanks for posting your potato salad recipe Kathy. I make mine much the same way. I do add a teaspoon of sugar and a tablespoon of processed horseradish though, to my mayo and milk mixture. I also like to add my mayo mixture to the potatoes after they cool.
I saw an interesting recipe that mixed a sour cream and mayo mixture to the potatoes while they were hot like you would for a German salad. Then scallions and bacon bits were mixed in. I was thinking that that salad would taste much like a baked potato.

actually I've never tried potato salad...but I love to eat salad. Maybe I will try this potato salad at home. I am interested on the taste of this. This is new to me. Very exciting to try this potato salad. Thanks for sharing!

You can try to use vinegar and a little bit of olive oil instead of mayo from time to time. This makes the potato salad lighter and gives it a very spicy taste.

Thanks Kathy. I will try that one. Maybe if someone prefers less fat in the potato salad an option would be to use vinegar instead of mayo. Thanks a lot Kathy.

How about the whole recipe bittersweet. It sounds interesting and could work on my low sodium diet.
