Expert Tips

To keep this and other mayonnaise-based salads cold while at a picnic, place the serving container in a bowl filled with ice.

You can buy hard-cooked eggs in the deli section or next to the meat case of most grocery stores.

I get rave reviews everytime I make this potato salad. In fact I am requested to make this whenever we are asked to come to a cookout. Great recipe. Family favorite

This is awesome potato salad but 10 minutes hands on prep is a joke...I allow a good hour of steady work to make this dish, including washing pots, pans, cutting boards, knives, measuring spoons, bowls, peeling eggs, washing celery, chopping sweet pickles (the recipe could use a few)--it takes 10 minutes to just peel and chop the potatos after cooking. In any case, it is worth it, classic and delicious and someone always asks for the recipe.

Excellent, must make it the night before. I had thought I put in too much vinegar. But by the next day the favors were blended beautifully. Everyone at our family get together loved it and asked for the recipe
