What did it taste like?

I make it all the time and just improvise the dressing once the potatoes are done. It’s never the same twice but always turns out good. Just find a recipe and start experimenting. Eventually, you’ll find an approach that’s your own, and in many years down the road, you might have relatives wondering why nobody wrote your recipe down.

try my Grandma's recipe. sliced potatoes, celery, sliced onions, sliced cherry tomatoes, black olives, green olives. salt, pepper , wine vinegar and olive oil. holds up if used for a picnic

my mom made good potato salad too....i can try and duplicate it but i can't 😥

I can cook, but I can never make good potato salad.
My mom's was the bomb.

My mom made the best potato salad too. Sadly we didn't get her recipe either. ☹

Are they still alive? Ask them?

The recipe is simple, boiled starchy potatoes, mayo, a touch of mustard, salt, pepper, celery salt, and sliced boiled eggs.
