    My great grandmother always used red potatoes. She put them in a kitchen towel as they finished and squeezed several lemons over them. She always used Helman's mayonnaise and added celery, salt and pepper. She also added a few eggs. We still make it to this day and love it.

    When salting potato salad a pro tip is to put in the salt and let it rest in the fridge for 15 before adding more, cuz often times what happens when salting the salad is that the granulated salt is not dissolved yet so its not evenly spread accross the salad and will taste bland. Once it sits the salt dissolves and it spreads more evenly when mixing, making the salt content more uniform and lets you get away with putting less salt than you thought necessary.

    That's a clever technique to chop the eggs. My variant is to add chopped cornichons to introduce the vinegar element into the dressing, along with some fresh dill. Also, I think it's really important to dress the potatoes while they are still warm.

    Let me start off by staying that I really enjoy your videos. I make a version of potato salad that converts folks that usually strongly dislike (hate!) it. Cooled boiled potatoes like you described and same with the eggs (include eggs folks!). Then I mix in a small amount of mayo, mustard, finely chopped chives (or green onions), Dill pickle juice (secret ingredient!), salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Finely chopped crisp bacon is optional yet amazing.

      Dill pickle juice is not a secret! Look through the comments here & you'll see many people mentioning it. My Mom made it that way with diced pickles too as I grew up as a kid in the 60s & 70s.

    I use pickles instead of olives and use the pickle brine instead of white vinegar.
    Also some dijon or brown mustard. Maybe paprika after plating for color and chives for garnish.

    That is not my salad and everyone that has eaten mine says it’s the best. I use eggs, green onions or a sweet small diced onion, also a stick or two of finely chopped celery. My dressing is mayo , a little mustard , some finely chopped pickles and pickle juice .I add a little cream to smooth it all out then add it to my potatoes. The only spices I use is salt and pepper with paprika sprinkled on the top. Sometimes I also add about quarter cup of bell pepper .. Colored ones make it pretty so does parsley.

    My first introduction to Hellmann's mayo was as a kid at my friend's house. They had potatoe salad with sliced green olives, white onions, celery and Hellmann's! Oh my goodness. It was so simple but so delicious! I have developed my own potato salad over the years but I keep some of it while I making it for myself and my adult daughter and use the green olives. It takes me back. Potato salad is definitely in everyone's happiest memories of family and friends!

    Try this one on for size: red potatoes (do no peeling!), diced boiled eggs, diced dill pickles, diced polish sausage, 50/50 blend whole egg mayonnaise and salad cream (e.g. Heinz), salt and pepper to taste. The ratios of the diced additions are up to you, I'm in favour of being a little heavy handed. Oh, some sort of diced onion is nice also, but I don't tend to because children complain
