Red potatoes boiled whole and cubed. Skin on for me. Chopped celery, onions and sometimes match stick carrots and sometimes sautéed. Dukes…noooooooo Miserable Whip!!!! Salt, pepper and Tonys!! Vinegar…sometimes Salt and pepper…as is. Pickles…hmmmm…not very often. Mom always includes. Old Bay…sometimes. Depends on the main dish. Boiled eggs….not really!!
there are as many ways to make 'tater salad as there are cooks. My way is best of course, David comes real close, but his exclusion of pickle relish is suspect. Redskin potatoes, boiled whole, skin on, and not cooked to freaking mush Dukes (Or Hellmanns in a pinch) Yeller mustard salt, fresh black pepper pickle relish fine diced sweet onion chopped scallions and some fine diced red bell pepper for color Paprika on top. For me, that's the way to do it

Now, swap the Miracle Whip (spit) for the boiled eggs and you'll be onto something!

This man knows how to make a potato salad! Only heathens would forgot the paprika.
Now my wife makes what I guess is a Russian style potato salad and uses sour crème instead of mayo, and adds chicken and dill. Pretty good stuff in it's own right, but not what I think of as a classic potato salad.

Back in the day, I used Miracle Whip in different things. But, I was young and dumb.

I've tried making it a few times with marginal success and the store bought stuff I've tried wasn't very good so I don't eat much potato salad. Then last summer I had some friends from WY over for a little BBQ so I picked up a couple of pounds at the Wall Mart deli. Believe it or not it was some of the best I've had and my friends raved about it. When I told em were I got it my friends wife giggled and whispered, thanks for the info I buy it too.
