I liked it a lot , but I added sprinkles of Red Wine Vinegar . It was excellent!! Everyone loved it . My name is Abby
I thought it was easy to follow!
Simple, and tasty!
My husband loves potato salad so thought I would try this recipe. The first time I made it as directed. The second time I added an extra egg and 3/4 cup of relish (my husbands request). It turned out really good and got rave reviews from the entire family.
Awesome, so easy and Deelish! To make it easy after removing the potatoes use same hot water to boil the eggs ( I used 3). Fresh parsley is a must and I used Mt Olives Dill Reslish. I used 3 Yukon Gold & 3 Reds and left skin on for texture and color.
I have made a similar recipe for years. I use small unpeeled Yukon Golds to lessen the cooking & cutting time. I do not add garlic salt or celery salt. I use stone ground mustard instead of prepared, and I add more mayo to make it creamier.
My new favorite! Didn't change anything!
I followed the recipe on the video but it tasted like mustard and nothing else.
It came out great. The only thing I did differently was added fresh fried bacon cut up into bits.
