Potato salad is an American classic in my book. Over the years, I was never really happy with the potato salad recipe I had. It never tasted like my mom’s when I made it. Then one day, I decided to try one that I saw on a television show. I thought it was good, but not quite good enough.
So, I made some changes and ended up with the perfect salad. I now love to make potato salad. The recipe is the perfect size for my family of five. There is usually even a little bit leftover. This is a recipe I’ll definitely pass on to my kids.

[…] Today’s recipe is my version of barbecue pork. Who doesn’t love a good bbq sandwich? Of course I use my crock pot for this recipe. It also only requires 3 ingredients. So simple! It’s also delicious! This is great served with 5 cup fruit salad, macaroni salad (in the photo), or my potato salad. […]
[…] If you just need to simplify your bbq menu or need a quick side dish for the neighborhood potluck, this punched up potato salad is the perfect solution. I love the freshness that the lime and cilantro add to salad. The picture also shows you a cute way to serve up potato salad at any gathering you may be having this summer. All you have to do is dip the rim of the plastic cups in lime juice and then in some bbq seasoning (I used McCormick Grill Mates Barbecue), then add a lime wedge for garnish. Isn’t that a fun new way to serve up a bbq classic? If you don’t want to go for this jazzed up store bought potato salad recipe then go for my homemade potato salad recipe. […]
I made this today, with a few tweaks. But it came out great, and I loved it! Thanks for the great recipe.
I made this on Monday. It was so good. It’s the first potato salad I have ever made!!
