American Potato Salad recipe

This American Potato Salad is a great recipe to make when you are planning a barbecue or cookout. It is very filling and makes 12 servings which means it is a great side dish when you are cooking for a crowd. There are many variations of potato salad and there is no one correct way to make it.

My recipe combines potatoes (of course!) with eggs, mayo, onion, green pepper, celery, salt and pepper to make the creamiest, tastiest potato salad you’ll taste! Some people opt for potato salad without mayonnaise, but I think the mayo makes it and couldn’t imagine eating a mayo-less salad.

To make my version of American Potato Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
