I don't do mayo--but I need a great potato salad recipe?

Question

So I'm thinking something with a vinaigrette, but I'm open to other ideas too. Do you have a great one that does not involve mayonnaise? If possible, I would like something that you actually make yourself rather than a link. Thank you very much!

Answer 1

I make a warm German Potato Salad, here's my favorite from my grandmother (God, she was the BEST cook I've ever come across, rest her soul..........)

German Potato Salad:


3 pounds new potatoes
1 yellow onion, quartered
1/2 pound bacon, diced
1 large red onion, diced
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1/4 cup canola oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
8 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Preheat the grill to high. Place potatoes in a large pot with the onion and cover with cold water. Cook, on the grates of the grill, or on a burner, until tender. Drain, discard the onion, and cut the potatoes into cubes when cool enough to handle. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and cover to keep warm.
Place a large saute pan on the grates of the grill. Add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Add the onions to the rendered bacon fat and cook until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully add the vinegar and mustard seeds and cook for 2 more minutes. Whisk in the canola oil and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the hot dressing to the potatoes and toss gently to coat. Fold in the green onions and parsley. Season again with salt and pepper, to taste.

I hope you enjoy this, and it becomes a family favorite of yours......I'm not a mayo person either, and this suits me to a "t"

Answer 8

I make your garden-variety, classic American potato salad, but I substitute sour cream for the mayonnaise. I also add a few chopped, hard-boiled eggs.

Answer 9

I've had something called German Potato Salad. Use cooked potatoes with skins on, baked potatoes are ok, mix with sour cream and bacon bits. Also, my mom makes potato salad with italian dressing sometimes, but she also puts in a little miracle whip, too. And my husband insists on mustard in his, but you can make it the way you want, everybody makes theirs different.

Answer 10

I hate mayo so I just substitute either sour creme or a mustard/cream cheese mixture where a recipe calls for mayo. I won't give you recipes because you can search on line or a cookbook. I've also heard that people use hummus but I've never tried it.

Works for me.
