That is how I make mine too but I have to use Hellman's. I love potato salad with gumbo too--but then I like it to have onions in it. Thanks for the reminder--I don't make it nearly enough. Sheila in NC P.S. I like it warm too--it just tastes better to me!!
Your potato salad is calling my name! I haven't made it for a while, so I'd best get busy. This is how I make potato salad too, Mary, just like my Mom did! And, yes, it must be mayo. It's so special, making dishes that our mothers made; the memories are priceless!
Hi Lynda! Every time that I make this, I always still lift a big spoon right out of it just as soon as it's done and all smoothed down. And I smile. Old habits die hard.
OH MY! THIS BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE READING ABOUT MAMMA. NOT THAT MINE MADE POTATO SALAD, MY SNEAK ATTACK CAME ON THE MOST DELICIOUS CORNBREAD EVER. NOT SO EASY TO COVER UP. BY THE TIME I WAS IN MY TEENS, SHE'D JUST CALL ME FOR THE CORNER(MY FAVOITE PEICE). THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR SOUTHERN REBEMBERANCES AND RECIPIES. TRISH TUPELO, MS
I just put up potato salad at my blog today :D hubby and I made some up for a bbq later. My mom never had miracle whip in the house either so when I moved out I started buying it for sandwiches :D I rarely use it for anything else though. My mom and I both use Best Food mayo at least she used to :D I still do. I havent tried it with relish or mustard. Hmm, may have to try it that way, Carmen
Welcome!! I don't have anything against Miracle Whip at all and I know a lot of people love it. Heck, I haven't tried it in years, so maybe my tastes have changed. I'm one of those southerners that likes my cornbread just a little sweet {gasp!} so who knows??!!
It's the time of year for potato salad isn't it? Love the stuff, so I'll have to swing by and check out your post.

ReplyDeleteI love my potato salad when it's warm. That's usually the only time I eat, is right after I make it. Then everyone else in the family eats it cold.
ReplyDeleteMy kind of gals!!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made a lot of potato salad (don't know why), but this looks easy and good. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI tend to make it more in the summer than any other time of the year. It's sort of a summertime staple I guess with all gatherings.
ReplyDeleteHey Mary, I luv poatato salad. I loved reading your memory of your mama, for some reason it brought tears to my eyes, I know how much she meant to ya.

Yum, Yum, Yum, and sprinkled with paprika is a must!
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly how I make potato salad, and my mom did too. No miracle whip at my house either!
ReplyDeleteI sure miss her Brandi!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why Mama never sprinkled paprika on hers - it sure would have thwarted by spoon thievery LOL!
Nanette, I guess a lot of folks in the south like really sweet potato salad, but I like mine with mayo for sure!
Mine is a bit different with more eggs in it, we all have our way of making it don't we!
ReplyDeleteWarm potato salad is the best! I love it, but it has to be Duke's.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how potato salad brings out all our quirks? LOL
Oh, meant to say that potato salad with gumbo is really good, too. I just tried that for the first time this year. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great memory. The potato salad's great, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy! Yeah, it's really that way about a lot of food especially in the south. I also like Dukes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary!

You just can't beat a good potato salad recipe.
ReplyDeleteHi Trish! I think the nuances are what make southern cooking what it is!!
ReplyDeleteSherri, I swear I could eat it daily! I don't but I could.
