Amazing. This is the BEST mustard potato salad I have ever made. I made it for a family reunion. You should have heard all the comments and everyone wanted to know who made the potato salad. I used Hellman's mayo and French's mustard in the dressing. It was very creamy and tangy. I did sprinkle paprika over the top and it looked super with the added color. Thank-you PanNan for an awesome salad and for making me look good.

I finally have found the perfect potato salad! This is wonderful, the flavor just perfect for us. I followed your instructions except for the pepper, I only had black pepper and used that, it was just fine but will use white next time. The cream is a nice touch and I love your method of squishing the eggs! Great recipe Nan, this is already a family favorite, Thanks for sharing it!

PanNan this is definately a classic!!I made half a recipe to take on a picnic today and left half home for supper tomorrow. Only made 2 changes, out of necessity, left the eggs out and made stuffed eggs separately 'cus it was such a hot day. Used DeJong mustard 'and black pepper 'cus that was what I had around. It was a wonderful taste treat with some crunch. Used a huge sweet Spanish Onion and ice cold celery, the kosher salt was a nice change, hadn't tried before in a potato salad, all in all it was a great salad and am looking forward to finishing it for dinner tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.

This salad was great. I followed the recipe exactly, except I only used about 1/2 cup of mayo. Just enough to bind it all together and keep it creamy. I took it to a family cookout and got good reviews. Thanks for posting.

I made this recipe for my sister's rehearsal dinner, and everyone enjoyed it. The bowl was empty by the end of the evening! I couldnt believe how they gobbled it up!! Wonderful flavor; the perfect traditional mustard potato salad. Thanks!

This made a huge batch and fed way more than 16 people but it tasted wonderful.

I made for my DD's graduation party. I loved the flavors in this potato salad, but the added juice from the pickles made it a tad too runny. Next time I will just add a little more pickles and no juice to get the same flavor. Very tasty and refreshing, especially when it's hot like it was this weekend! Thanks for sharing your recipe with us!

This is what we made to have with pulled pork for 4th of July. It was a perfect choice. I had enough Vidalia onions to make about 1 1/4 cups, which I didn't think enough, so I added some green onions to almost make up the difference. So I have to preface the next comment by saying that I am a novice food processor user, but I threw all the vegies into the food processor and gave it a couple of short pulses (no, honestly, short pulses)...turning them into very finely diced mixture that was very green. When I mixed everything together in the bowl, the resulting potato salad was a lovely emerald green color and not the classic yellow color that we'd come to expect. Despite this little color issue, the flavor of the potato salad was wonderful and I loved that the potato pieces held together through all the shocked mixing that I did. Thank you, PanNan!

Loved this recipe! Perfect for a BBQ. I followed it perfectly except to add some crispy bacon to it for some added crunch. This is a keeper. Thanks!
