Remember to adjust seasonings and condiment amounts to your liking!

Finally someone that makes a good uncomplicated potato salad. Thank you!!
You’re so welcome!
I'm going to try this for Sunday dinner..
I won't have to ask my Daughter 😅🙇♀️💜✝️
P@@AverysApron knnnknm..nkl
That looks so good I can taste it from my chair. 👍 I’m gonna try this.
Exactlyyy
Finally a simple potato salad recipe. Almost all the potato salad recipes on youtube are people thinking they are gourmet cooks and ruin a simple recipe.
That is quite the compliment! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!
Amen 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
this
Girl I know right lol
Using the wrong Mayonnaise
My favorite part about this video was the Dad at the end. I do the same thing with my Dad. I throw down in the kitchen, and I KNOW it tastes good.... but I'll have him try it and ask "is it missing anything?". I do it to my brothers too. It's never missing anything. I've made potato salad at least 20x before but here I am "studying" making sure I get it just right for a family function tomorrow. Thanks for this video, it made my day. 🙂
How I’ve been making my potato salad all my almost 54 years. The best!
Thanks for this classic potato salad. Sometimes simple is better!
Thanks Larry! I’m glad you like the recipe!
People seem to treat potato-salad the way people treat meat-loaf; a very good simple recipe is ruined by adding
way too many ingredients.
Girl does it right here. And like me,
pepper is as important as the potatoes !
Beautiful vid. 👍
Thank you so much!!
You are right now they doing the same thing to mac and cheese
Jackie Reynolds This is one of those classic dishes that you innocently order in a restaurant and it comes with something the cook (cook, definitely not chef) adds that they think is really cool like pineapple or basil. I hate it when that happens. It makes god unhappy too.
I agree. I'm Mexican- so I say that about beans 😅
My mom was the go to potato salad maker for anything, I miss her cooking most of all I miss my best friend, Thanks Avery for this walk down memory lane, I think I will try my mom's recipe again wish me luck.
I enjoyed Dads humor! The potatoe salad was fire!!
Glad you liked it! My dad is definitely a character 😄
My mother is Polish and I grew up eating this as a child my mom and my aunts would make it just like this...it is classic it’s a favorite and I making it for Easter for my family thank you for sharing
Wow that’s awesome! thanks so much for sharing that! Food really has a way of connecting all of us!! Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed your Easter!
My husband wanted to make simple potato salad so we tried your recipe! We both agreed it tasted just like our mothers used to make! We added finely chopped onion instead of onion powder, and used dill relish and it was still just delicious. Thanks so much for the video! 🙂
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, a simple recipe. I don't eat potato salad so I never made it. My man likes it so I decided to make it for him. Thank you
You’re welcome!!
I have been searching for a potatoe salad that reminded me of simpler times. I made it last night it was the best potatoe salad ever thank you for sharing! This was also my first time making potatoe salad ever and your instructions helped me so much.
That’s awesome, I’m so glad it was helpful and that you enjoyed it!!!
okrsv
Exactly like my Mom's, even the paprika sprinkled on top. My favorite potato salad recipe. Thanks for the recipe!
Aww no problem! Thanks for watching!
Needs more eggs, no onion powder, pimentos diced. Size depends on how large a batch you make. Dill pickles can be use. Needs more pickles.
Best potato salad recipe I’ve come across
I’ve been craving potato salad. So I decided to make some! Your video was the first one I clicked, and I’m glad I did 😍😋😋
Yay!! I’m so glad you liked it!
I added celery seeds and fresh garden chopped dill and garden parsley and then sprinkled paprika to pretty the top up complete hit even my husband said it was better then his mama’s and dam that was a serious compliment because hers reminded me of my mama’s recipe that I just couldn’t get right but now, May they be resting in peace smiling that I finally made it right thank you.
This is my second time making your potato salad and let me tell you, everyone loves it. My dad really loves it. Thanks for sharing
Yayy!!! I’m glad it’s a hit!! You’re so welcome!
I like simple , but with lots of flavor. I'm from Oakland and I'm also Mexican 😊 growing up here in the bay - I've had amazing food from different cultures. Your recipe is the way I make my potato salad and daaang your eggs are perfect! My Mexican family boil eggs to be well done 😖 no , no, no! THANK YOU for your video so that people can make good potato salad when I don't have time to make it lol
I followed your lead on making this. It was a hit at the gathering. You also taught me just what I was doing wrong on my boiled eggs. I cheated with one egg....I ate it instead of putting all of them in the potato salad. Thank you for sharing your cooking talents...and your Dad. ❤
Finally someone who's made potato salad just like my Grammy. RIP love and miss your potato salad now I can make it just like you.

I’ve literally made your potato salad twice in one week. And daddy and kids love it. And I’m about to make it again today. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
I love that this is simple basic potato salad and we can just embellish it if we want. You have a beautiful voice and sweetness about you and I love that your dad is allowed to be the judge. Keep up the channel.
I appreciate this! I have been looking for a recipe that was straight forward and didnt require allot of extra stuff and this one was perfect :)

I made my first potato salad today and it turned out really good. I did put a little bit too much mustard so I should have payed closer attention. Over all it turned out great. Thanks so much.
I feel you! Sometimes you just gotta go for it and see how it turns out. 😅 Glad it was good overall though!
Yes I second the last comment, just simple and your awesome big smile from your Dad sold me on giving your recipe a try. Big Thank you
Aww thanks so much! I hope you like the recipe!
@@AverysApron
Avery you are right I made your potatoes salad for new years and it was so good that everyone that tasted it was saying it tasted just like Ant Puris salad and the was what I wanted. My Ant was the best cook better than Mom and she used to make it all the time so when I saw your video it kinda looked like my Ants and with your father big smile and your awesome personality I was sold on it . I'm a 64 yrs old Dude and I don't take the entire credit my wife help also but we wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for allowing us to remember our Ant by sharing your awesome video. Bless you guys.
Awww wow that’s so awesome!! I shared your comment with my dad and we both want to say thank YOU for sharing this story! I know what it’s like to have a food jog your memory of a loved one and it really is a heart-warming feeling! I’m so glad to hear my recipe gave you and your family that feeling/experience!! Happy New Year and bless you and your family as well!
Best cooking video I ever watched.
I like you laughed. Now I get ready to cook. I'm from indonesia and I do like potatoes salad. Thanks for your recipe 😘
Great job!!! Made over 4 or so times already..simple and easy Ty..
You’re so welcome!!
I am the potato salad maker in the family. I add fresh white onion , celery, with, celery seed and no sweet pickles. Other wise I make mine exactly the same . So I was raised in Maryland and this how my mom made it. Being from Maryland depending on my mood I might add a touch of Old Bay.
Oooh yes my grandmother would put onion and celery in hers sometimes too! Old bay sounds like an excellent idea in potato salad lol!! Thanks for watching!
Basic & classic. Me all day lol thank you for this!
Bless you for this recipe! My mother and sister always made the potato salad, but I will attempt this recipe mainly because it has no onions.
I followed your recipe, all except the sweet salad cubes, i always forget to buy those, but even without, it’s still delicious! Thank you. 😊
You’re welcome!! I’m glad you liked it!!
@@AverysApron Yea definitely it was great! 😊 I hope you had a nice Christmas. 😊

Totally understand… I don’t like all the extra stuff either lol I’m glad you loved it!
It’s okay to say it with your chest… we know the seasoning rule 😭😭 our ancestors whisper “that’s enough”

Thank you for this simple recipe.
You're so welcome!
I think her technique is spot on!
Thank you!
I put fresh onion and celery in mine, but the rest of your recipe is spot on!!!! Good job.
Thank you!!
Closest recipe to my mothers that I have found! The only difference was dill added to the mix. Thanks for making this video!
Aww that’s awesome! Thank you so much for watching!
That looks really good, and I cook / make everything pretty much the same way. Gradually taste testing along the way. Thanks for this, as I will be adding my own twist
That’s the way to do it!!😋
This is a great potato salad recipe. I would put in some chopped onion. That gives it a little extra kick. But I LOVE potato salad. Mmmmmm.
I just did this recipe today! Im excited to try it once its cold!! 😄😄
Thank you! I love a simple potato salad/macaroni salad
Make this for my daughters bday party and everyone loved it ❤

Thank you so much!! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thank you for this. I am the "go to person" for potato salad but I still need more practice so here I am.
You’re so welcome! I hope you enjoy the recipe!
Great presentation and funny and happy with your dad.
Definitely gonna make this! Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the egg advice! It was perfect omg 👌🏿 😢😮😍 I always overcook my eggs lol
Thanks for being so simple ❤
Beautiful! This is how you make potato salad. It’s a basic taste. I was hoping that sugar would be added but that’s more of a deep southern thing lol
Thank you so much for watching!! I agree it’s definitely a recipe that should be kept simple!
Thanks to this video I made potato salad for the 1st time.
Awesome!! I hope you liked it!
You guys are great! Sounds like a good recipe. Going to give it a shot!! Bless you 🙏
Thank you!! I hope you like it!
Yummy can I come over ,lol thanks I needed this recipe 😋.
The ending was awesome 👌. Dad approved.
Love it! Easy simple directions and very pleasant voice! Love the fact you don't do exact measures and you taste as you go. My gramma cooked like that too 😊
Exactly like my mamas!!!! I don’t remember her adding the garlic and onion powder to hers though, and I always liked dill relish and juice instead of sweet. BEST EVER!
Very nice job! Your Dad seems cool!😊
Thank you. First class, Ma'am.
thats a cool dad, good video
Just like my mama would make it from Alabama, Delicious !
Nothing beats a really good simple potato salad! A lot of people tend to complicate things by adding a bunch of unnecessary ingredients, but I personally think that detracts from the perfect simplicity of potato salad. The only thing I do differently is I use chopped pickles & a little pickle juice instead of sweet relish/salad cubes, bcuz I don’t like any sweetness in my potato salad 💜
I like that you measure according to taste
Awesome recipe. Thank you for making it so easy for me!
You’re welcome!!
What a great vid. Loved it!
I’m making this for 4th of July. Thank you for sharing 💜
You’re welcome!! I hope you like it!
Reviewed several recipes on youtube. Yours is the closed to what I like. I'd add more mustard, onions diced small, and more sweet relish. Your name brands are spot on ! I'd eat at your house anytime!
Thanks so much for watching!!
Your's potatoes salad looks yummmmmmy !!!!!😁👍
I never liked potato salad until I realized you have to try good potato salad. I’ve come to like it a lot IF it’s good. I’m interested in trying to make my own and have checked a few videos. I like yours a lot because it’s simple, and like you said, easy to add anything else (onion, celery, etc). Appreciate you takin the time.
Thanks so much!! You’re right you definitely can build on this recipe and make it your own! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊
@@AverysApron In case you’re wondering, it came out pretty good. It would get eaten at the cookout, but I don’t think everybody would rave about it. Little more practice and I think I’ll have it down. Thanks again for a simple recipe to start.
This a great potato salad I love this thank you for sharing
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
ThT potato salad looks really good
Thank you!!
Thank you for making this easy!!!!!
You are so welcome!
