Excellent!

This potato salad is delicious. The creamy dressing competes with my moms. I think this may be my signature potato salad going forward. I love it. Enjoy!!!

Classic Potato Salad

I was looking for a healthy potato salad recipe and came across this one. I had all the ingredients except the cider vinegar. So I improvised and put in a couple of Tbls. of fat free ranch dressing and then I added some chopped cilantro. Everyone at the Bar-B-Que liked it better than my sister's full fat potato salad. Thanks, keep up the good work.

Supreme Salad!

This was THE best potato salad, bar none, (well, except for maybe my mom's...which isn't too "healthified"!)! We loved the addition of sour cream, instead of all the mayo. It made it so creamy. Just because it's healthier doesn't mean you can it tons and tons of it, but oh boy, it was hard not to! We had small portions during the course of a few days and the veggies still stayed nice and crisp and the salad got even more flavorful! A nice little addition that we like to use, is to sprinkle red wine vinegar on top right before serving, then mix it in a bit. Yummy! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe! A keeper for sure!

Classic Potato Salad

EXCELLENT! Very good potato salad. A hit at the 4th of July party. I added a little bit of chopped pickles to the recipe as my regular recipe also has pickles. Highly recommend this recipe.
