This is super good and easy to make. Hard to not eat it immediately. Added peas and dill pickles.
Joshua Sharp
This was loved by all. Made and rated just as written. Just a couple of tips. I found it easier to cut the potato into bite size pieces after they cooked and cooled. For those who mentioned they liked to sweeten it up try thinly slicing a few baby gherkin’s.

Really good! I left out the peas because my family isn’t fond of them, and used bacon crumbles from Costco. I used very mild beer mustard (not the bright spicy French’s) and added a little extra. Next time I would add an extra egg or two. The key is to mince the onion really really fine, practically onion dust. This was a really nice cross between potato and egg salad. Delish!

Super easy. Great for that old-time potato salad. The bacon adds a nice flavor.

I made this just as the recipe stated. My wife was bugging me to make a potato salad, so I went looking through the recipe pictures. I liked how this one looked. It turned out very nice! It’s in the fridge. She loves it, and so do eye!!! Thanx!

Made this today and my family loved it- and they have never eaten potato salad! Didn’t change a thing except for added a little seasoned salt.
Michael Foley
Added more of everything so as to make a bigger batch. Used baby red & yellow potatoes cut in half, choped some fresh green onions and dijon musterd. Definitely will make it again.

I adjusted for just two. I eye-ball the creaminess of the dressing to what I’ve got and I don’t like my salads swimming in mayo. I did about 1/4 miracle whip, 1/4 sour cream, and the rest Hellman’s Light. I used 2 tablespoons of Grey Poupon Mild and Creamy. I added chopped red bell pepper, celery, and the bacon/eggs. Topped with parsley and dried chives. It has a light zip to it and it really really good!

This potato salad is perfect just as written! The whole family loved it. It would be so much easier to find good recipes, based on reviews, if people would review the recipe as written not based on changes they make that ruin the original recipe. ??

This is almost exactly like mine. Except swap the peas for sliced olives.

2.2.19 This is pretty much the way I always make mayo-based potato salad with the exception of the peas. Yes, that was new, I liked it, and I also liked that little pop of color that they added I used the potatoes that I had on hand (Yukon Gold), peeled them, and did add a bit of chopped red bell pepper that was in the fridge. This is a solid recipe for basic potato salad with all of my requirements for homemade potato salad: mayo, mustard, bacon, hard boiled eggs, and now petite peas!
Tanner Lee
Yes I removed peas this time only variant, it was a great recipe, don’t let the others stray you from something great, Christmas dinner over 20 guests can’t be wrong they all loved it!!!
Heidi Martinez
Soooo good! We loved it!
Michael Williams
This recipe is yummy – perfectly basic and very easy. I omitted the peas and onion, instead adding a tbsp of sweet relish. It gets better with time in the fridge and reminded me of Mom’s!
Eric Lynch
This was a favourite with my guests. Sure to make it again.
