I live in Lower Saxony, Germany and this recipe is actually pretty close to the traditional one in my area. Maybe a little bit more mustard than we would use. Also, we commonly add boiled eggs as well. But he is right, potato salad can be amazing. In my family, potato salad is usually a highlight at parties!

Really glad you dropped the "all day" vernacular in your more recent videos.

Yes lord, it's not complete without egg.

I love using Colman's mustard on my potato salad

I am not sure this potato salad is the best ever, but I made it twice so far, and my impression the second time is that it's bangin'. You'd be hard pressed to find a potato salad that is simpler or has fewer steps, that is this good.

I'm a 40 plus year chef that has cooked for people from 63 countries. I agree with you, for the most part, but this comes up just a bit short for the best. Dill flavor is a must but using fresh dill is just a bit too much. I use the pickle juice off of dill pickles and it is dill pickles instead of sweet. One Big plus for you over others, you did not advocate using sugar. Making your own mayonnaise is a definite plus for a perfect potato salad but for a mustard, I tend to go with a spicy brown mustard. I will also go along with a number of others here and say that hard cooked eggs is a must have for a perfect blend. We also differ in the base ingredient, the potatoes. You are cooking yours to the point of being able to somewhat mash them, why not just use a properly cooked Russet. I don't understand your and others aversion to peeling potatoes. Use a Russet and cook them whole just to where it becomes tender yet still a bit toothsome. They will break up just a bit as you mix the salad, obtaining the creaminess you desire. I have made my potato salad many, many times over the years and have converted many that usually shun potato salad and I rarely have leftovers.

Never tried an American style Potato salad! I'll try this at some point :) Also, here's a Danish potato salad recipe for those who wants to try: 750g potatoes. 2½ dl Ymer (or fermented sour milk, I sometimes use 1dl mayo instead). 2½ dl Cremefraiche. 1 handfull of chopped curled parsley. 2 diced shallots (red onion can also do the trick). 2 tbsp sweet french mustard. Squeeze of lemon juice. Salt and WHITE pepper to taste.

Not related, but I recently made your chicken salad but with a extra gift Turkey from Thanksgiving that hung out in my freeze way too long. I honey brined it, smoked and used half of it with your chicken salad recipe! My family tore it up like a pack of ravenous wolves. Anyway, just a big thanks to you. You have quickly become one of my favorite chefs on KZread. I will definitely be trying this potato salad.

Hi there in germany we cook the whole potatoes and peel them and cut them in slices,we also cook some eggs ,than we peel the eggs and take the yolks and mix them together with some oil and some pikle water ,vineger,some salt and mustard.Tis stuff back to the sliced potatoes,and some mayonaise .The bavarian style salad is with fried ham or baconcubes and onions,only oil,vinager,mustard and fresh spring onions and fresh parsely.Delicious.All the best from cologne,germany.Thanks for your great videos.Stefan

Your tater salad looks great. Thank you for the tip on cooking potatoes slow. Very helpful. I always boil them high, and don't get the perfect texture. Your tips are on point. One thing you could add to your already killer tater salad is.... Hard boil three or four eggs, peel them, then put them in your Big Chief Smoker with some hickory chips for about 8 min. Just long enough to get them golden. Chop them bad boys up, and throw them in that fine tater salad.

I made this for family at over the holidays. Recipe liked pretty easy and delicious (it was both), and I got a lot of compliments even from people who don't usually like potato salad! Only problem is now they think I can cook. So, I'm gonna need you to keep up the good work.

this is similar to my one of my potato salad recipes so i was skeptical about, but that dukes really is something special

Thank you so much for the mayo recipe. It was always a pain to make it with a success ratio speaking highly against me. But this one is perfect.

This sounds great but I think it'd be even better with hardboiled eggs, I'm definitely going to try that

Nice recipe. I think I chopped my pickles a little too rough cut, next time I'm going to chop them a bit finer. Delicious either way! I love the simplicity of this recipe.

We do it the Swiss style by cooking peeled golden yukon potatoes, slice them and let the soak up bouillon while cooling down. Then a rich mayo sauce and let it sit. Right before serving add some more mayo sauce as the potatoes will soak up some of the sauce (I am always amazed on how much potatoes can soak up). Maybe I am too much old style but I don’t like chunky potatoe salad or masched potatoes. BTW I like to use Cornichons instead of pickles, more bite and more flavor in my opinion.

Good solid recipe, your point about commercial mayo is spot on it makes a world of differance. You may like to use some of the pickle juice from the pickles rather than plain vinegar. I will disagree that it is the best, that honour belongs to the Oma's/grandmothers. My Oma's had crispy bacon bits and the sliced potatoes where fried in the bacon fat to a crisp golden brown. Save your spare pickle juice and make sliced pickled onions, waste not want not.

Mate, when making mayo. Just make sure all the mustard, vinegar, egg etc are at the bottom, put the mixer inside the mixture. Put all of the oil in at once, then turn on the mixer and very slowly lift the mixer up. Works every time, drizzling isn't necessary if you do it like this. Literally fool proof.
