Classic Southern Potato Salad | How to Make Potato Salad | Recipe

Having 2 parents that were born and raised in South Georgia, and having spent most of my childhood living in the south, I feel like I’ve come to know a thing or two about what makes the perfect Potato Salad. This recipe is the perfect side dish for any cookout or family gathering. When you make it, be ready to become the appointed potato salad maker for every future family function that calls for it!

INGREDIENTS:

**DISCLAIMER:
Remember to adjust seasonings and condiment amounts to your liking! What I have listed below is a rough estimate of the measurements I used b/c as you can see in the video, I didn’t do any exact measuring. What’s most important with this recipe is the method and ingredients used not the actual amounts. The amount of each ingredient is up to you and what you like.

5lb bag of Yukon gold potatoes, diced
6 hard-boiled eggs, diced
1-2 cups of mayo
2-3 tbsp of yellow mustard
2-3 tbsp of sweet salad cubes (+1 tsp of the juice, optional)
2 tbs of salt
1 1/2 tsp of black pepper
2 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder


Enjoy!!

Finally someone that makes a good uncomplicated potato salad. Thank you!!

Finally a simple potato salad recipe. Almost all the potato salad recipes on youtube are people thinking they are gourmet cooks and ruin a simple recipe.

My favorite part about this video was the Dad at the end. I do the same thing with my Dad. I throw down in the kitchen, and I KNOW it tastes good.... but I'll have him try it and ask "is it missing anything?". I do it to my brothers too. It's never missing anything. I've made potato salad at least 20x before but here I am "studying" making sure I get it just right for a family function tomorrow. Thanks for this video, it made my day. 🙂

My mom was the go to potato salad maker for anything, I miss her cooking most of all I miss my best friend, Thanks Avery for this walk down memory lane, I think I will try my mom's recipe again wish me luck.

I followed your lead on making this. It was a hit at the gathering. You also taught me just what I was doing wrong on my boiled eggs. I cheated with one egg....I ate it instead of putting all of them in the potato salad. Thank you for sharing your cooking talents...and your Dad. ❤

People seem to treat potato-salad the way people treat meat-loaf; a very good simple recipe is ruined by adding
way too many ingredients.
Girl does it right here. And like me,
pepper is as important as the potatoes !
Beautiful vid. 👍

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, a simple recipe. I don't eat potato salad so I never made it. My man likes it so I decided to make it for him. Thank you

My husband wanted to make simple potato salad so we tried your recipe! We both agreed it tasted just like our mothers used to make! We added finely chopped onion instead of onion powder, and used dill relish and it was still just delicious. Thanks so much for the video! 🙂
