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.

My favorite is from Justin Wilson's book Outside Cooking with Indoor Help.
I like all the crunchies and flavor from the olives and pickles. Feel free to cut the recipe down as full one makes a LOT!
CAJUN PICNIC POTATO SALAD
"Serves 8 Cajuns or 24 other peoples for a good picnic."
10 lb potatoes
2 pints (4 cups) mayonnaise
3/4 cup yellow mustard
Louisiana hot sauce (or Tabasco sauce), to taste
Salt, to taste
2 cups dill relish
2 cups chopped green olives
2 cups finely chopped onion
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 cup sweet relish
8 hard-boiled eggs
Boil potatoes in their jackets. Let cool, then peel and chop into large chunks.
Mix mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Louisiana hot sauce, and salt together. Add potatoes, along with the rest of the ingredients, and mix well.
You can make this the day before and refrigerate it overnight. You may need to put a little more dressing on it if it is a little dry.
Makes 24 servings
