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.

My mom's potato salad is always a big hit. Frankly, I have no idea why
because its just cut up boiled potatoes, shredded carrots, thinly sliced
onion, mayo, salt, pepper. She just takes a bunch of potatoes, boils
them 'til they are soft, chills them for a couple of hours, then dumps a
jar's worth of Hellmann's mayo into the bowl with the other ingredients.
I don't think there's ever been any of that potato salad left after one
of her parties. To me, its just potatoes with mayo mixed in.

On the other hand, a friend's mom makes awesome German potato salad. I
won't repeat the recipe here, but its easy enough to find simply by
googling "German potato salad" because she makes a very traditional
version with sliced (not chunks) of potatoes, hard boiled eggs, and lots
of bacon.
