A longtime favorite of my family. We don't have an outdoor summer gathering without this and Hellmann's Classic Pasta Salad. Can't go wrong with these delicious recipes. FYI: because of the mayo content, we put the bowl of salad into a slightly larger-sized bowl filled halfway with ice to keep the salads cold and fresh.

THE ORIGINAL POTATO SALAD

The Original Potato Salad image

This recipe is right off the Hellman's mayonnaise jar. To me, it's so good it rivals my mother in law's potato salad, which I think is the best there is. It's a plain and simple potato salad, but it's delicious! Add pimentos, olives, or green peppers depending on what you like in your potato salad.

Tips:

For the best potato salad, use waxy potatoes such as Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or New Potatoes. These potatoes hold their shape well when cooked and won't get too mushy in the salad.
Cook the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will fall apart in the salad.
Let the potatoes cool completely before adding them to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Use a light hand when adding mayonnaise to the salad. You want the potatoes to be coated in mayonnaise, but you don't want the salad to be too heavy.
Add your favorite mix-ins to the salad. Some popular options include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, and bacon.
Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a little bit of mustard or vinegar if you like.
Serve the potato salad immediately or chill it for later. Potato salad is best when served within a few hours of making it.

Conclusion:

Hellmann's Classic Potato Salad is a simple yet delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few ingredients, you can make a tasty and refreshing salad that everyone will enjoy.
