You have to make this! Followed exactly but omitted lemon juice – it was fabulous!!!!

I make potato salad from another recipe all the time and get many requests at family dinners for my potato salad. I decided to try this version and was not disappointed, in fact my husband said it was the best potato salad I have ever made. I did not use the lemon juice but other than that followed the recipe exactly and it turned out amazing. the only thing was that I was glad I only added half of the potatoes at 1st and mixed into the wet ingredients because if I would have added all of the potatoes it would have been super dry.

Question, is this still served cold. I noticed she says to add the mixture in while it’s hot. Thanks

I love this recipe and my family loves it as well.  I use russet potatoes instead of yukon gold as I think they absorb more.  Nancy says to use one half lemon juiced not one whole lemon, as the recipe states. I also use 1 tablespoon mustard instead of two, but that’s how we like it.  All in all it’s a great recipe, thanks Nancy….

I make my potato salad similar, but without all the onions and celery. I do add a pinch of crushed rosemary, sage, and thyme. Just a pinch. I also use white pepper instead of black pepper. But I will try her method, because it looks so good!!

This is one of the best potato salads we’ve ever had! I made the mayo/egg mixture in advance in the morning and it made making the potato salad a quick snap at dinner.

Not bad. I used red potatoes and 1 T of mustard and I can still taste the mustard. Kind of over powering. Its ok. I still feel like something is missing? Maybe I just got used to dill being in potato salad?

Followed recipe exact, but added one shallot instead of two.  Very nice recipe; my husband asked for crumbled bacon next time.  Will definitely make this again.

I wanted to make this version since seeing this morning.  DELICIOUS.  I have always liked dill pickle relish in mine but this does not need it.  You get the same flavor from the lemon juice and mustard.  Loved it.
