I make this all summer long. We have to have this anytime we grill or BBQ which is often. Never, never any left-over.

I've been making this same potato salad for years (it's the way my mother made it). It's absolutely the best. The only difference between this and my mom's is I use chopped red onion, chopped sweet gherkin pickles and some chopped celery. My addition is to add a small can of chopped black olives. This is the best potato salad in the world in my opinion. Thanks for sharing ratherbeswimming. You're recipes are fabulous.

    I made it with a small change instead of the relish I added celery. It is so wonderful. Just creamy enough not to heavy on mayonnaise and the hint of mustard gives it a wonderful zing. Yummy thank you for this fabulous recepe

    This is an excellent potato salad recipe. I used celery salt instead of the salt and celery seeds because I did not have the seeds, but it turned out fine. It is a very mild taste. Next time I will add a little more mustard, perhaps something spicy. I will absolutely use this recipe again. Thank you!

    Wonderful potato salad! I used russet potatoes (no reds on hand), however otherwise prepared as instructed with the addition of just a tad more salt as to personal perference. This is basically the way I normally prepare potato salad, only with the addition of some thinly sliced celery. We enjoyed it with our barbecued ribs; a great combination! Thanks for sharing!
