7 Reviews of New York Deli Potato Salad

Unlike most potato salad recipes on this site that contain mustard this one really is like the NY deli style which is the only one that I like. I had no trouble cutting this recipe down in size although be very careful with the sugar as it is so easy to overdo. When I'm in a rush I just use onion powder instead of shredded onion which is different but still delicious.

A deli in the town where I grew made the most amazing potato salad. I've trying to replicate it since college, but have always failed until now. This is very close to being THE recipe! I used 3lbs. potatoes, and cut the proportions of everything down 2/3 and reduced the white pepper to 3/4 t. I pureed the onion, liquid ingredients and seasonings in a blender and mixed the oil in last. So easy!!! Thank you for ending my quest for the perfect potato salad recipe!

This receipe is amazing. I left New York city (Queens) when I was in my twenties. For Thirty years I've been looking for New York Potato Salad. It is not sold anywhere else in the U.S. I've lived in many cities and have traveled to dozens more. I've tried to make it at home with other recipes and they all have failed. This recipe is perfect. I do remember that some deli's had chopped pimento and others had a hint of finely chopped celery. I've added those 2 ingredients and it made a slight difference. It is still just like I remember. Brad, thanks for bringing this recipe to the world once again.

Excellent recipie Brad, thanks a bunch for sharing. I too have searched to recapture this wonderful flavor with no success bravo Brad!. A small hint in case anyone is interested: I hand-whip the mayo before folding it in as it seems to make the potato salad a little more creamy.

Just had to say that this was great! It will be my new potato salad recipe from now on! I used Hellmann's Light mayo and thought it worked just fine. My husband loved it too. Thanks for sharing!

I made this just as is, though I cut it down. Everybody loved it, even our son who never eats potato salad. He asked for more even after it was all gone. Thanks for posting this, Brad.
