BEST POTATO SALAD RECIPE | how to make potato salad easy, healthy and delicious!

[@Downshiftology]

Hi guys! Summer is right around the corner and we all need a great potato salad recipe, right? This is my mom's recipe and I'm excited to share it with you today. I've got another classic recipe coming your way next week that you don't want to miss either. Stay tuned! ;) xo - Lisa

[@dorothyyoung8231]

Helpful hint: you can cook the eggs in the pot right along with the potatoes! 8-)

[@peeperjean8191]

I am so happy I discovered your channel! Your meal prep vidoes have been such a game changer for me. Before, I was eating so much junk food and fast food to save time. Now, two weeks in to meal prepping, I feel so much better and I've lost 7 lbs!

[@artivedi3887]

No big deal.recipe

[@Here_Today_]

I find it easier to keep stems on veges when shredding. It gives me more holding distance and I can shred more. Recipe looks great, I'll use some of the sprouting radishes an give it a try. Thanks!

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

I am a P salad junkie. I love watching potato salad videos....everybody's recipe is different. This is a great video and an xlnt recipe. I will have to try it. My Mom always added celery seed too.

[@MB-xl8nx]

Oh my gosh Lisa! Made this for the first time today to celebrate Independence Day, and both my Husband and my Father who are not fans of potato salad absolutely love this! Another home run! Thank you!

[@Mad1943Anthony]

I am tardy getting back to you on this. I have made this recipe a few times now and have had great results. I did a minor change and went 50/50 with mayo and Greek yogurt. Also, I get fresh daikon radishes from a local veggie farmer so I used them. Last night was spur of the moment because I had half a sack of russet potatoes and a bunch of fresh dill left from another project. Salad was great. I have also made you black bean soup last week and that was excellent as well. Thanks for doing what you do!!

[@tzytzy7171]

I add parsley and either a little mustard or capers. Yum!

[@stacifitzpatrick3607]

I can't explain how much I love you and how much of an inspiration you are to my cooking life ❤️

[@Downshiftology]

Aw, I'm so thrilled to hear that Staci ❤️

[@TheAlexaJacks]

I made this recipe today for a dinner party - it was a huge hit!

[@Downshiftology]

Wonderful! Glad this was a hit 😊

[@lindsaymayfield4773]

I’m clearly from the Midwest, my potato salad DOES use russet potatoes, diced onion, sweet relish, hard boiled eggs, yellow mustard, mayo and salt/pepper. That’s what I grew up eating, so to me it’s the best, but I will definitely give this a shot! I saw somebody in the comments mentioned adding capers, too, that sounds amazing!

[@michellelabri3388]

Love the added crunch! Our tradition has always been a bit of mustard, horseradish, chopped bacon, and pickles. Garnish with smoked paprika. Combining mine and yours would be heaven!

[@MichelleLifts]

You are amazing and just the kind of person I was hoping to find to become a better cook. Thank you!

[@Downshiftology]

You're so sweet! Hope you enjoy the recipes + learn a ton from this channel Michelle.

[@jenniferharris7633]

I LOVE potato salad recipes that have a lot of veggies in them. Mine is basically the same, but I substitute dill pickles for the radishes, and I add pickle juice to the mixture, which allows me to use less mayo. YUM.

[@nitzanunez]

Thank you for sharing. I made this last night for work potlock today and it was a hit. Several people came to me and said it was the best potato salad they have had. No leftovers. 😁

[@Downshiftology]

So glad to hear that Nitza 😊

[@scf7334]

This looks delicious! I’m going to make it this week for a family birthday party. I’m going to add a bit of fresh wasabi (a guy I worked with years ago did this with his potato salad and it was a GAME CHANGER). It wasn’t hot, but added something special. Thanks for another great recipe, Lisa!

This is so different from the way I grew up making potato salad. It looks delicious and I am definitely going to try to make it. I can’t wait! Thank you!

There are so many variations on potato salad - and thankfully most are delicious! I hope you enjoy my version Jahmina!

[@paolaestrada1387]

I made this salad today! I am.not a big fan of potatoes but I love this recipe. This is the best potato salad I've eber had. Thanks for the recipe. I love your channel 💗

I was just thinking the other day...time to start making potato salad again....it is one of my guys all time favorite recipes. I will try yours...sounds yummy! And I always use red potatoes too!

Made this the other day, and it's by far the best I've ever had.

Wow, so glad you enjoyed this potato salad Steven 😊

[@stevenemes3937]

[@FrugalOverFifty]

I love these tips and I love your tribute to your mom and childhood summers at the beach - lovely! I tend to like a deviled-egg potato salad flavor profile, but these tips would definitely work to bring more texture/color to my usual (now former?!) method.

Potato salad is my favorite meal and it has been since I was a child! Looking at the one you made makes me salivate. I want some right now!

[@anetasidoruk1168]

That looks just irresistibly delicious! I’m so trying this potato salad next weekend! Thank you so much for sharing this with us 😊 I love recipes that are tried out by generations, those are always the best 😊

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks Aneta! I hope you enjoy the recipe!

[@anetasidoruk1168]

I really did enjoy it sitting by the river last weekend 😊 it was just as i thought-simply delicious 😊thank you Lisa!

[@MissCreativeMinx]

I’ve made this recipe twice now. Super good!

[@Downshiftology]

Awesome! So happy you love it!

[@marthacalkins2126]

Very similar to our family's version. Try adding peeled, seeded & diced cucumber: it ups the veggie quotient and keeps it nice & light. A handful of frozen peas adds nice color, too.

[@Downshiftology]

Love those additions. Thanks for sharing Martha!

[@octahedron646]

Very tasty and very easy to do ! Thanks for sharing ! I added two forks of mustard in the cream cheese. It’s delicious.

[@Downshiftology]

Definitely a classic, easy, and delicious recipe! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@caitj2473]

This is a fantastic recipe. Reminds me of my mum's recipe when we lived in the USA. Thank you LIsa.

[@Downshiftology]

If it reminds you of homemade food, that's always a good sign 😃Enjoy the recipe!

[@cheryllehman7911]

Looks wonderful! Radishes are a new idea for potato salad. I’m eager to try it!

[@Downshiftology]

I really do think they're the secret ingredient that takes this version over the top (though I'm also biased as it's my mom's recipe). Haha. Hope you enjoy it Cheryl!

[@jyanalice]

I'm from Philippines and I love how the ingredients are easy to find,.. I'm a new subbie,. love all your videos..

I'm still making my mom's potato salad too! Our moms really knew what they were doing! Love it :)

[@Downshiftology]

They really did! ;)

[@spicyibis9087]

Never been a fan of potato salad but this looks AMAZING. Do you think substituting greek yogurt for mayo would work? And your hard boiled egg tips really work. Thanks!

[@dorothyyoung8231]

Spicy Ibis, I’d try a mixture of the two. A half-and-half mixture is great on pasta salads.

[@jdashlovela]

I like potato salad with peas. I'm going to try this version.

[@agnete1994]

This is very similar to a typical scandinavian potato salad :) However we use a dressing of mayo, sour cream, dijon mustard and sugar which I recommend trying!

[@patriot20000]

I thought this lecture was about eating HEALTHY.

[@ioanadiana5036]

Thanks Lisa. I’m going to add radishes now to my potato salad. I have just subscribed to you channel and have been inspired by your meal prep ideas.

[@Downshiftology]

I am so happy to hear that 😊 Hope you enjoy all the recipes!

[@maureendonovan5683]

Wow u are amazing, just love yr yummy healthy recipes and yr tips, thank you so much for sharing yum yum

Enjoy the recipe Maureen! 😊

[@anye76]

That is one great looking potato salad. I'll be sure to use your tips next time. I end up with whipped potato salad. The flavor is there but not the nice cubes😉

[@debbiezullo7056]

A half a teaspoon of sea salt is not enough,perhaps 1 to 2 teaspoons is much better for taste. Great video thank you fir sharing your memories of your Mom’s recipe 💕

[@freelanceenglishteacher4732]

I love all your recipes but the salads are my favourites!!!

[@drharshar_uro]

Another one of your amazing videos. The tip bout hard boiled eggs has made life a lot easier. Thank you lisa

[@niciwrites]

Perfect timing. I watched the video and then made it straight away with radish from my garden.

Made this salad this weekend and who knew radish will make a difference 😁👍 also made your mayonnaise recipe 🥔🥔 excellent 👍👍👍

Best potato salad I have ever eaten, your hard boil egg method is wonderful, I have tried many methods with inconsistent result this an incredible way. Do you have a baked bean recipe to go with this ? Thank you, thank you.

Oh THANK YOU. That recipe will be fabulous. I will try it this week when I get the fresh dill. It's close to my recipe except for the eggs and radishes. Yes, my mom taught me to cook the potatoes exactly like that. Thanks again. I wait for your recipes every week.

[@Watchmanfortruth]

Looks quite delicious. Will definitely give this recipe a try. Always loved tasty potato salad. Is it healthier to keep the potato skins on? Thanks again.

[@Downshiftology]

There are nutrients in the potato skins so if you buy organic and give them a good scrub, I think it's better to leave them on. The skins on red and white potatoes are thin and soft as well. :)

[@VeritechGirl]

Looks SO good! I like the fact that it's not too creamy as opposed to store bought potato salad which tends to have too much mayo and makes me gag. What do you think of using cilantro instead of dill? 😀

[@Downshiftology]

Yes, that works as well! :)

[@seapossumsforrest8162]

Great recipe! I would recommend you cover the topic of 'safe storage for cooked eggs and mayo. Food poisoning is common with eggs and real mayo when you don't keep food cold and let it get too warm for too long. I only bring this up cause you talked about taking it to the beach. Thanks!
