I usually make my own cold potato salad, as I do not like the taste of store bought. Now and then a smaller market may make homemade potato salad fresh without a chemical taste, too much vinegar, or too much liquid. But often the potato salad is bland and I have to bump up the flavors a bit. All in all I prefer my own, or that of a few family members who know how to make a potato salad I like.

I like the red skinned or yukon gold potatoes as well, with some chopped onion, celery, dill pickle, and hardboiled eggs. I add salt and pepper, parsley, dill, mayo, and some of that Claussen dill pickle juice (I love that too, Connie!). I prefer a nice chunky salad not dripping in mayo and vinegar.....just enough to hold everything together.

Sounds like I'll be stopping by for potato salad at your place!

Sure thing......come on over!

Do I feel a road trip coming on...?

I was going to take this to a salad potluck, but I have to work. Sigh.

Connie.....why don't we meet half way and pick a nice picnic spot? I'll bring the potato salad, pickles, and drinks, and you can bring a few sandwiches and the blanket to sit on. It will be a really nice lunch enjoying nature, good conversation, and great food.

Fantastic idea!

I wrote and requested a potato salad recipe from Connie a while ago and she sent me this one - now published. It is divine - truly tasty. It's a shame to eat it with anything else really, unlike other boring potato salads!

Thanks Gillian!

I've been known to eat potato salad with nothing else. The good ones can stand alone.
