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:So, how do you make American Potato Salad?
Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the potatoes and cook them until they are tender, but still firm. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Drain them and once they have cooled down, cut them into cubes.
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Once the water has come to a boil, take off the heat and cover with a lid. Allow the eggs stand in the hot water for about 10-12 minutes.
Take the eggs out of the hot water. Allow the eggs to cool. Peel and chop.
Mix the potatoes and eggs together in a large salad bowl.
Stir in the mayonnaise, chopped onion, green onion, green bell pepper, and sliced celery. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Cover the potato salad and chill in the refrigerator for a number of hours or overnight.
Serve this salad in a large bowl.
Man, this potato salad is a total game-changer! Made it for our annual cookout and it vanished in no time. The combo of mayo and those fresh veggies just hits different. My kids can't get enough of it, we're def adding this to the summer menu.

Everyone loved it
Jeff always has the coolest recipes that taste amazing not even shocked this turned out to be scrumptious :) keep making things for us to try!
Very delicious and simple though I did add less celery and eggs there was just too much for two people.
The texture is a bit off for me its too mushy compared to the american macaroni salad.
