Having 2 parents that were born and raised in South Georgia, and having spent most of my childhood living in the south, I feel like I’ve come to know a thing or two about what makes the perfect Potato Salad. This recipe is the perfect side dish for any cookout or family gathering. When you make it, be ready to become the appointed potato salad maker for every future family function that calls for it!

INGREDIENTS:

**DISCLAIMER:
Remember to adjust seasonings and condiment amounts to your liking! What I have listed below is a rough estimate of the measurements I used b/c as you can see in the video, I didn’t do any exact measuring. What’s most important with this recipe is the method and ingredients used not the actual amounts. The amount of each ingredient is up to you and what you like.

5lb bag of Yukon gold potatoes, diced
6 hard-boiled eggs, diced
1-2 cups of mayo
2-3 tbsp of yellow mustard
2-3 tbsp of sweet salad cubes (+1 tsp of the juice, optional)
2 tbs of salt
1 1/2 tsp of black pepper
2 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder


Enjoy!!

    Finally a simple potato salad recipe. Almost all the potato salad recipes on youtube are people thinking they are gourmet cooks and ruin a simple recipe.
  • @Listenman33
    Finally someone that makes a good uncomplicated potato salad. Thank you!!
  • My favorite part about this video was the Dad at the end. I do the same thing with my Dad. I throw down in the kitchen, and I KNOW it tastes good.... but I'll have him try it and ask "is it missing anything?". I do it to my brothers too. It's never missing anything. I've made potato salad at least 20x before but here I am "studying" making sure I get it just right for a family function tomorrow. Thanks for this video, it made my day. 🙂
  • People seem to treat potato-salad the way people treat meat-loaf; a very good simple recipe is ruined by adding way too many ingredients. Girl does it right here. And like me, pepper is as important as the potatoes ! Beautiful vid. 👍

    My husband wanted to make simple potato salad so we tried your recipe! We both agreed it tasted just like our mothers used to make! We added finely chopped onion instead of onion powder, and used dill relish and it was still just delicious. Thanks so much for the video! 🙂

    I added celery seeds and fresh garden chopped dill and garden parsley and then sprinkled paprika to pretty the top up complete hit even my husband said it was better then his mama’s and dam that was a serious compliment because hers reminded me of my mama’s recipe that I just couldn’t get right but now, May they be resting in peace smiling that I finally made it right thank you.

    There's 3 versions of "classic " southern potato salad depending on which southern state you're in. Made with dukes, made with miracle whip and everyone else.
  • I like simple , but with lots of flavor. I'm from Oakland and I'm also Mexican 😊 growing up here in the bay - I've had amazing food from different cultures. Your recipe is the way I make my potato salad and daaang your eggs are perfect! My Mexican family boil eggs to be well done 😖 no , no, no! THANK YOU for your video so that people can make good potato salad when I don't have time to make it lol
