A very good basic recipe. I omitted the pickle relish as a personal preference. Was very good.06/21/08

This is a delicious potato salad recipe. I served it warm, and it was great, but it does get better with time. I used red-skinned potatoes and chop them before boiling; it takes less time to cook this way. I took other tips and used less onion than called for, as well as reduced-fat mayo, and it turned out great. Served with turkey sausage on buns with peppers and onions. I will be making this often, especially in summer when we grill.10/09/07
