I am lighting up the pit this weekend and want to make some potato salad to
go with the BBQ. I have never made potato salad that was very/any good.
Does anyone have some tips that may help or a recipe that they are proud of
that is not German style? I looked at google and searched the archives of
this group and the BBQ group. There are some really wild recipes, one even
had beans in it..lol Thanks for any tips, tricks or secret ingredients.
Cut the beans though. g I have Yukon gold potatoes.

This may not be much, but first, I put a little onion, boullion, and
salt 'n pepper in the water when I cook the potatoes, sometimes garlic
goes in there. It gets very mild. (I hate big chunks of just potato
with no other flavor).

Then, I make the sauce separately and taste until I like it. Usually,
it has mayo, dry mustard, both sweet and dill pickle, a little green
onion, vinegar and paprika. Boiled egg is a must-have. Sometimes, If I
have them, some good green olives or capers get sprinkled on the top,
or served on the side, but not mixed in.

Also, the flavor is better if refriged overnight.

I guess the trick is to mix a little sauce with a little potato, and
adjust until it tastes fine to you. Sometimes people like big, al
dente potato chunks laced with sauce. At the other end of the spectrum
is almost mashed potato.
