I make the best potato salad ever! I’ve checked every potato salad recipe from Julia child to Martha Stewart and every one I checked calls for boiling the potatoes. Potato’s hold water when you boil them . I never boil my potatoes my potato salad is the ceramist ever and the best . People always tell me how good it is. Deborah

In reply to Karen (Back Road Journal).

Karen, you made me feel better about purchasing a new one. I’m sorry you have had issues too. They just don’t last anymore. We opted for the 5 year service plan, so we should be good for another 5 years, but I sure hope it is much longer!
Dill pickles in the potato salad sounds heavenly! Did you ever see the recipe I posted a while ago for Dill Pickle Soup? It was potato based. I may have to try dill pickles in mine next time.
Have a great weekend!

Sorry about your refrigerator…ours is just a little over a year old and we had problems. It had just gone out of warranty too. Enjoy the new one…I think you made the right decision. We were lucky, ours was the fan. If it had been the compressor, the repair man said it would be better to just buy a new one. David’s mother’s potato salad sounds really good but I personally like dill pickles in mine…it is the way my mama made it. 😀

Debbie, I actually asked David if we could get a new stove since the refrigerator is so sparkling clean…lol! You’ve definitely have a gem! Have a great weekend!

I know what you mean Mollie! This recipe was kind of hard to write, hence the big note about adding ingredients “to taste”. I’m not sure if elevation comes into play at only 1000 feet, but it very well may. We’d get along great eating eggs, I don’t eat the yolks…lol!
Hope you have a great weekend!

I should have read this first. I am sorry you have to buy a new fridge. Hopefully, this one will last. Love the potato salad!

Oh my gosh this sure looks good, Debbie! Sorry about the fridge but I’m a little jealous that you are going to have a brand new sparkling clean wonderful new fridge! My 20+ year old fridge just keeps plugging along, which of course is a good thing….maybe I’ll show it a little love this weekend and give it a good scrub!

I’m always trying new potato salad recipes (although for some reason, I never seem to blog them – I guess because I’m such a bad measurerer and tinkerer! I tend to just measure in my hand so it’s a big deal for me to get out the spoons for a blog post!) My fave potato salad is still my Mom’s but this one looks spectacular. I haven’t tried brown mustard before and I’m making this soon.

Hard boiled eggs are just a bit trickier in the mountains. They take a little longer for one thing. (I lived for years in the Colorado Rockies) but if they’re cooked just to perfection, you really don’t get that sulfer kind of smell. Me, I like the yolks and don’t care for the whites.

If you find hard boiled eggs to be stinky, try adding a bit of vinegar and salt to the water when cooking. Once boiled, cook no longer than 8 minutes, then plunge into ice water.
The salad looks very tasty. 🙂

In reply to Judith Graber. Judy!! It's not just me?!?! It's the yolk part. It stinks!! I just don't care for them. The spicy mustard really gives this potato salad a kick. I hope you try it!

You are the second person I know that does not like hard boiled eggs – the other one is me!!! I add them to my potato salad but they are chopped so fine you can’t tell they are there – I think it adds some nice flavor. I like the spicy brown mustard 🙂
