I find it hysterical and albeit ignorant that usually those making negative comments, have never ever made or tried the recipe and it's not just this one. You can't say, "too salty, too, sweet, yuck or really any valid comment until you have prepared and tasted the recipe for yourself. Period. Usually what we say we would never eat ends up being wonderful once we actually try it. It's not rocket science. I'm trying recipe now.

Anyone shying away from this recipe due to sugar, evaporated milk and corn starch is missing the delight of a lifetime as far as potato salad goes! I thought I knew everything there was to know about making great potato salad since I inherited my great grandmother's recipe and have spent years tweaking it to perfection. But, compared to this delicious concoction, I feel like an amateur. This will be my potato salad recipe from now on. Thank you so much for posting this! Everyone I've shared it with LOVES it!

Ingredients were weird but decided to give it a go. It tasted great the first time around, just substituted celery with garlic chives. Now, I am doing it with celery! Thanks! My wife who didn't like potato salad now asks me to make 'em!

Just finished making this for our Fourth Of July celebration later today. The only thing I changed was using 1/4 c of sugar instead of 1/2 c. It is unbelievably delicious! The best potato salad I've ever made.

I saw this about 3 years ago, a d tried it, and it was so good, then I forgot about it, until when I had thanksgiving dinner last week, and I wanted to make it, but didn't remember the the full recipe, and was looking for it and couldn't find it, now today I remember again, and said let me go check another time, and I found it, thank you for this, it was delicious 🤗

Made it today. It's in the fridge mingling for tomorrow's Mother's Day picnic. I'm excited to try it.

I love trying different potato-salad recipes. With a million views, and people who actually made it saying it's a 10, I will give it a go. The Hollandaise sauce is a twist I never thought of. It's so tempting to sub the mayo for Greek yogurt; but, I'll make it to recipe just to see if it's my new fave.

I made this potato salad this morning and it is chilling in the fridge for my son's after school potluck. This was so simple to make, and I've never made potato salad before, I have to say, it was delicious, the sauce is sooo creamy, won't be buying store bought anymore, when it's soooo easy to make 😋

Thank you for your question. We'd recommend trying a few things - use 1/4 cup of vinegar instead of 1/2 and try a mild vinegar like champagne vinegar. Enjoy!

My aunt used to make this recipe for us during special occassions and holidays! She adds pineapples and condensed milk into it to kind a suit our tastes!

I have been making this potato salad for 3 years and also tried it with macaroni salad too. So delicious 😋

I have been making potato salad for 35 years, and I thought mine was hard to beat, and everyone loved it. After trying this, I will never go back to my old way. While it's on the order of the flavor of mine, comparing the two, mine was a 9, while this is a 10! This is just perfection to me. THANK YOU for posting this!

I have even used this method now for making macaroni salad. I had to add more milk because I didn't have enough elbows cooked up. I will also be trying it in my coleslaw. I may have to tweak a bit more for either of those things, but I will figure it out :D

Hi Jennifer Morales, you can certainly use apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. Enjoy!

[reinajenkins]

Just made the dressing and it's in The frig but I tasted it and WOW BLOODY WOW THAT TASTE AWESOME. can't wait till it's all mixed together.
Thank you 😊

instead of celery and vinegar, I tried use cucumber and lemon juice. Perfectly delicious!😊
