We liked the dressing, and it has a good balance of sweet and sour. Followed the recipe to the letter, and we were happy with the taste, but there are just a couple things I will do differently in the future. I will cook the potatoes whole, leaving the skins on, and then cube. That’s just the way I cook potatoes for potato salad, and I like the texture a little better, just a personal preference. There’s absolutely no color in the finished potato salad, and I think visually it ends up looking kind of bland...which it isn’t. I garnished with chopped parsley which I think helped, maybe adding a little chopped celery would be good, but leaving the skins on will add some color, as will some crumbled cooked bacon which is the next thing I definitely will add. This is a really easy potato salad to make, and it comes together quickly. While the potatoes are cooking, go ahead and make your dressing, so you’re good to go when the potatoes are cooked. One other thing to mention, this is good served warm or chilled. Thanks KFREESE for sharing your family’s long-time recipe.
We enjoyed this recipe! We did just add some fresh parsley to top it off! Thanks!!
So glad to have found this recipe!! Next time I'll add crumbled bacon.
Pretty good recipe, though we felt it needed a lot more salt. I also followed the masses and added fresh chopped Parsley to the finished product.
I love this potato salad! After years of eating mayonnaise based potato salad my husband and I decided to try this as a way of eating healthier. This is even better; now we will never go back!!
Was great! I love dill so added dill.
Just like my grandmother and Mom made, except they didn't use the ground mustard and would use green onions in season. Grandma and Grandpa were German Russian immigrants in 1908, this is the only kind of potato salad they made. I don't know if the recipe changed when their ancestors left Germany from the hot German potato salad you often see, or if it was just a regional difference. Love it, and my family, who are all potato salad averse, love it too!
My mom used to make this and so did I but we would use Italian Olive Oil instead, it was so much better tasting than regular oil. I haven’t made in a while though but (note make sure to eat it warm right away)and when you have it the next day take it out of the fridge for a while and pop it in the microwave. Yummy
We loved it. Simple to make and oh so delicious. It was an easy to make side to go with our meal.
