Best HOMEMADE Potato Salad Recipe?

Looking to get some ideas for upgrading our homemade (not purchased) potato salad recipe. We've added authentic bacon chips but want something more.

  • There are subtle things that can tweak an existing recipe. I use a mix of Yukon Gold and red potatoes for my summer potato salads.
  • Potatoes, boiled eggs, onion, sweet pickle relish, mayo and about a teaspoon of mustard, salt pepper. We don't have an exact recipe, we like a bit more onion and less pickle so that's how we make it.
  • Come October, I love having a good, warm German potato salad with a good amount of vinegar. I'm not sure why I don't have it other times of the year.
  • I'm kind of a purist on this and don't like a lot of the additions that are common now on what is supposed to feature the lowly potato in all it's glory. I am cetain my wife has no real recipe but it is done strictly from memory and a bowl of that stuff fresh from the mixing bowl is perfection.
  • I make a red potato salad with chopped celery, Hellman's mayo, salt, pepper and sprinkle a little dry dill in it. Mix well.
