This turned out pretty well, but if I were to make again, I’d add some plain Greek yogurt to the dressing which is an ingredient I always include in potato salad dressing. Didn’t taste all that different from other potato salad recipes I’ve made which surprised me considering it had ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire in it. This recipe has been around for a long time, and it still holds up pretty well.
This has now become my go to potato salad dressing. Sometimes, I make it as exactly as per the recipe and other times, I add ingredients based on what I have in the fridge.
Didn’t like it, ketchup & worcestershire sauce are banned from my future potato salad dressing
I think the brand and type of mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup will make a big difference in flavor. I had honey mustard because I don’t really like any other kind, but I had to add at least triple the amount because the mayonnaise flavor overpowered it. I also didn’t have any sour cream, so I used plain yogurt.
Creaming great tasting, will make it again & again !!
This is delicious potato salad dressing. I doubled it to cover a decent-sized salad. I also traded onion powder for the real onion (I’m not a big fan of raw onion) and used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
This is the best potato salad dressing I have ever eaten. This is what I will make from now on. Thank you, Login
It’s excellent! I was doubtful about the ketchup, but I can’t argue with the results–I took it to two potlucks, and the potato salads were a hit both times. One was just the dressing over a variety of small potatoes (red, gold, white and the purple fingerlings), the other was over cubed russets with celery, pickles, and hard-boiled eggs. The dressing worked beautifully over both.
I have made this dressing a number of times now, no changes. I always get complements on the great taste.
It tasted pretty good but nothing special just how potato salad should taste. But it sure made prep easy and quick
This made a really great potato salad, especially with a little red onion thrown in. We added a little sweet relish as well and would probably be good with some dill too.
I wasn’t sure I liked this at first. I added a teaspoon of sugar and some chopped pickle and found it much more enjoyable. This would go great with burgers. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. Just wow. THIS is THE dressing for potato salad!!!!
Awesome recipe. I did double the recipe with 2 hard boiled eggs and about 6 potatoes. I added onion salt to taste and black pepper. The minced onion is a must! Will make again and again.
I didn’t change a thing in this recipe, made it exactly as written and it is delicious! It is different than the ordinary run of the mill dressings, has great zip and tang. Thank you for sharing this recipe, it will be a regular in my dinner rotations!
Make sure to put all the things you love in your potato salad so it will have lots of flavor. This dressing really absorbed into the potatoes and the salad was dry and tasteless the next day. Be sure to save some dressing to add the next day. I may try it again using a double batch. Tasted the best after only marinating 4-6 hours.
Didn’t change a thing. One word… Wonderful. Try it out and see for yourself.
This is my first time making potato salad and though it was easy and good, it was better after adding chopped celery, chives and 2 or 3 hard-boiled eggs. I did not have green onions so used yellow. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. Oh, and it does only make dressing enough for 3 large potatoes. Will probably make this again but next time substitute plain yogurt in lieu of sour cream for a healthier version. Can’t wait to try on macaroni salad with grape tomatoes.
Keeper! I didn’t put in all of the ketchup because I was a little worried it would take too much like the dressing for a shrimp/macaroni salad. I doubled (and then some) the recipe to make enough for a 5lb bag of potatoes, 8 eggs, half a cup of small diced dill pickles. I also added dried minced onion to the dressing because I didn’t have any fresh on hand. I let the potatoes cool before adding the dressing and made the day before so I’m sure it’s going to soak up all the goodness overnight.
It was amazing but i didn’t like it so mush because theirs ketchup i don’t like ketchup so mush ..so it is ok to not use ketchup
Love this dressing. I have been looking for a good all round dressing and this is the one. I made it according to recipe even though I was not sure about the ketchup in it. It turned out great. Thanks!
