Answer 3

My family loves my potato salad. It's a little on the spicier side...Here's how I do it:

I make a nice sauté that I add in at the end...in a skillet, I put Italian vinaigrette, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, diced green peppers, minced garlic, chopped jalapeños, and rotel tomatoes.

After those sauté for a few moments, I put it to the side. I then boil the potatoes like normal...drain them and mash in a little mustard and mayonnaise (not too much...don't want it too mushy).

Then I add everything in...the sautéed stuff, diced pickles, diced boiled eggs, salt/pepper. Once it's all mixed together and in the serving bowl, I garnish it with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper on the top.

Answer 5

My sisters is one I'd recommend. She usually hates potato salad.
Her secret is using baby red potatoes chopped small and leaving the skin on.
She also mixes in some Horseradish and crumpled bacon pieces. Its kind of like a German style salad. Its very good.
Email me if you want the recipe!
