Tips:

Use a variety of potatoes: Different types of potatoes have different flavors and textures, so using a variety will give your salad a more complex and interesting flavor. For example, you could use a combination of Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and fingerling potatoes.
Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Cool the potatoes before adding the dressing: This will help to prevent the dressing from making the potatoes watery.
Use a light hand with the dressing: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will make the salad heavy and greasy.
Season the dressing to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until the dressing is flavorful but not overpowering.
Add some mix-ins: Mix-ins like chopped celery, onions, or hard-boiled eggs can add flavor and texture to your potato salad.
Chill the salad before serving: This will help to firm up the potatoes and make the flavors meld together.

Conclusion:

Making your own potato salad seasoning is a great way to customize the flavor of your salad and make it your own. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dressing that is perfectly balanced and flavorful. So next time you're making potato salad, don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings and ingredients. You might just be surprised at how delicious your salad can be!
