    I really like onion with my potatoes, I'd definitely add some finely chopped shallots or something, maybe chop in some pickled red onion along with the pickling juice.

    You have to let the potato salad sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours before serving. It gives the flavors a chance to really meld and makes for a demonstrably better flavor.

    Let me start off by staying that I really enjoy your videos. I make a version of potato salad that converts folks that usually strongly dislike (hate!) it. Cooled boiled potatoes like you described and same with the eggs (include eggs folks!). Then I mix in a small amount of mayo, mustard, finely chopped chives (or green onions), Dill pickle juice (secret ingredient!), salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Finely chopped crisp bacon is optional yet amazing.
