Why This Old-Fashioned Potato Salad Stands Out
Creamy & Chunky: Perfect balance of smooth dressing and firm potato bites.
No unnecessary extras: Just clean, classic flavor — like Grandma made.
Customizable: Add red onions, dill, or bacon for your own twist.
Great for batch-making: Ideal for BBQs, potlucks, or next-day leftovers.
Craving a hot, comforting main to serve this with? Try Creamy Mushroom Soup or Homemade Tomato Sauce over roasted chicken and rice.
Storage Tips
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Do not freeze: Mayonnaise-based dressings separate when frozen.
Make ahead: Tastes even better after a few hours in the fridge — it allows the flavors to deepen.
