1. Has anyone used relish in their recipe?

2. "Medium" potatoes is pretty subjective. Does anyone know approximately what the weight of the 8 medium potatoes would be? Sorry...I know...my husband says I am way too literal.

4. I would like to submit the mayo with yogurt. What are your thoughts on this? Any particular type that you recommend? Will I have to adjust the spicing if I do this?

5. I’m wondering how many pounds would 8 medium potatoes weigh? I need to make 10 lbs for a community cookout . . .

1. When I read this recipe, it didn't sound all that different than any other, but based on a 5 star rating by someone else, I tried it and my company did all but lick the bowl clean when I served it!Be careful with the salt. BE SURE to salt the water when you cook the potatoes! (I notice a lot of recipes don't mention that anymore. A young cook doesn't know to do this). I doubled the amount of salad dressing because (I used more like 10 or 11 potatoes)--but the eggs and it wasn't dry the next day when I served it. GREAT potato salad!

2. I searched for a potato salad recipe for a little BBQ we were having last weekend. I was a little inundated with all the recipes available, but I'm sure glad I went with this one.I made the salad the day before and just added a little more mayo right before serving. We got lots of comments on it. Thanks for the great recipe!

3. Made this for a little Memorial Day Bar-B-Que, after agonizing over all of the available potato salad recipes on Zaar, but am sure glad that I picked this one. It was great, no not great, amazing!!! It's a keeper, thank you for sharing.

4. Great recipe! I tried a technique from the Food Network of tossing the warm, diced potatoes with about 1/4 c. pickle juice and the other ingredients except the mayo. After chilling, they soaked up the liquid, I only needed a cup of mayo. Fantastic flavor, creamy and delicious!

5. Classic potato salad.... As my family ( my sister, parents and my fiance) and I ate through the bowl of potato salad with our BBQ'ed chicken and hamburgers, we all smiled. I swear there was a moment when we felt that we were young again back at my parents old house laughing the summer evening away. I love the way a good meal can do that to a person! ***DEEP SIGH***<br/>The potato salad was great. I thank you very much for the recipe!

1. Only change I made was to do half Mayonnaise and half Miracle Whip and that is ONLY because my son is not a Mayo fan but he loves Miracle Whip so I have to compromise to get him to eat anything with mayo! I know I know! But a mom has to do what a mom has to do sometimes! Anyway love this recipe and other than the Miracle Whip substitution, followed it exactly

2. This is truly a classic recipe. It is very similar to one I took from the label of a jar of Hellman's Real Mayonnaise. The changes I have made include: Since it is hard to keep celery on hand and many times I cannot find good celery, I have substituted approximately 1 tablespoon on celery seed and we love it. I also use sweet pickle relish and the juice (instead of vinegar since the pickle juice has vinegar in it). I always boil my potatoes in their jackets and peel after they have cooled. I never fai

3. I used white potatoes & boiled them about 10-12 minutes. I didn't use sugar but used sweet relish instead. I also added chopped olives.. Idk why but I just can't eat potato salad w/o olives.. Other than that this is the perfect classic recipe!!
