Very tasty and addictive. I didn't use any celery seed or eggs but it was delicious all the same. My mom grew up in Kentucky so I made this for her and she enjoyed it as much as I did. Quick tip: I add a tablespoon of vinegar to the potato cooking water which helps them retain their texture rather than becoming mushy and mashed when you mix all the ingredients.

I can't believe this doesn't have 5 stars yet! Well, it does now! This salad is excellent. I didn't add the onion because my husband doesn't like it. I didn't have any relish, so I used chopped pickles. I used Miracle Whip for the dressing. The celery adds a nice crunch. This one's a winner!

Inez: this recipe reminds me of my mother's recipe for potato salad. We, too, are from kentucky. Mom was forced to quit school when only thirteen years old and she went to work washing dishes in a neighborhood restaurant called "the village kitchen", in catlettsburg, ky. Years later she came away with a great cooking education. As I remember it she never deviated from her ingredients for the dressing. She insisted on miracle whip salad dressing, carnation evaporated milk, and probably used more than twice the amount of sugar that you call for in your recipe. I have hardly budged from the computer since finding recipezaar. From one kentucky hillbilly to another, thank you for all your great recipes. My family is enjoying them to the hilt.

This is similiar to the potato salad I used to make but so much better. I was worried that there would be too much of an egg taste--but there wasn't at all--it was just perfect. I added one tomato, cut into wedges on top of the salad before sprinkling it with the final egg and paprika. Thanks MizzNezz this is the potato salad we will be having from now on.

This was my first attempt at making potato salad and I got thumbs up ratings from everyone! My husband said its the best potato salad he's ever had and I better keep making it....even better than grandmas. The only thing I left out was the eggs since I don't really care for them.

Very tasty potato salad!... Today i am making it again and i love it. I made it before for my Baby Shower and i could not stop getting so many complements. I did not have sweet relish but i used pickles and it was as delicious. This is definitely a keeper and also you can add other ingredients to it like olives, red pepper or peas. Very yummy

Great potato salad! Was all out of eggs and celery, but even without those items, it was delicious! Thanks for posting a keeper!

Well, it was way too sweet for me, but my very picky toddler couldn't get enough of it.
