How come no one adds celery anymore?

[@nailsdeb]

Celery , radishes, lemon juice instead of vinegar

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

@@nailsdeb I like your additions, as long as it's not bottled lemon juice!

[@fawkes968]

Michael, Neil just showed me how to open the description, hon ! Your recipes shall be a major addition to my grocery list ! You cook quality food. I'm 59 and was in Houston for thirty years. My neighbors were. from all over the world and we learned to enjoy our similarities and differences with our meals. God had fun creating us and He blessed us to be a blessing to one another ! Michael, your one flaw with me is that I'm blaming my hunger on you, love ! LOL " HAPPY COOKING, DEAR MAN ! 😘👍🍍 ALIDA/NEW IBERIA, LA. 🍴🌎

My mom would always add eggs in her potato salad, back in the 70's in New York City, and every one thought that was the strangest thing. Too this day I still make it my mom's way. You are the first I see putting eggs in your potato salad. Thank you! Moms are always right.

[@psycold]

Thanks for the tip about peeling the ends of the potatoes first. That is one of my favorite parts about watching new recipe videos, everyone always has their own way of doing things to save you time.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

+psycold Thank you for watching! ~Michael

[@sherri54]

hi Michael. Potato salad is one of my favorites (especially with baked ham). I make mine almost like yours except I saute' onion, celery and bell pepper in butter until soft and add them to the salad. Love lots of eggs and Hellmans is the only way to go. Thanks for your recipes. They're so down home.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Oh god, I love your ideas! Thank you so much! ~Michael

I really loved your video presentation and the recipe looks delicious! Thank you for sharing this, I'm going to look at your other videos as well. I appreciate the instructions, ideas and being able easily see what you're doing as you go. The background music was just right, too. Sometimes it can overpower certain videos but this was great. Thanks again and happy 4th!

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Thank you so much! ~Michael

[@smokeslut20]

This is exactly like the potato salad I grew up eating. I didn't know you could make potato salad with any other type potato for the longest time. I alternate back and forth now between red skin and russets when I make potato salad. I'm like you and like it warm, especially with the russets because they soak all that dressing up. SO good!

[@pjhaze]

Best recipe I’ve found so far. Everyone else is using sugar, or I saw cornstarch, this is like my Grandma used to make

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

@freitasex That's really nice Michael, you are so underestimated.. You should have at least 100 000 views for all videos you upload. You're the best. Please do never stop making videos.

[@NanaPapa123]

I just made this the other day for someone who was struggling. Told them about your channel and hope they look you up. You are such a positive and dear person. Just shared what we had, which wasn't much, but they were thrilled. Some jumbo hot dogs I grilled, baked beans from a can I doctored, cut up carrot and celery, some little mandarin oranges for a treat, your potato salad and a dozen fresh eggs from the chickies. I think it's not how much we give or can afford to give, I think it's the fact that someone cooks for you when you're having a hard time. When I do not feel well, even a cup of tea or a slice of toast Jonathan or our daughter make for me - wow! Seems like the most gourmet treat ever! Take care, our friend. We appreciate you.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Wendy you are such a sweet caring soul. What a wonderful world this would be if everyone were half of your caring soul. Thank you for your comment. ~Michael

I primarily use more of a red potato baked in the oven, with bacon olive oil, and then mix it in my dressing, but I wanted a normal american potato salad today to go with my brisket, and this is the winner, great job!

[@andreal6137]

Thank you for sharing! My mom is the one who always made her famous yet simple and delicious potato salad she recently passed away . And I didn’t get her recipe however seeing your video gave me comfort in knowing I believe I can still do it she does however add black whole olives to hers😊

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Thank you and I love olives, your mother's recipe sounds great!

[@maloni]

made this yesterday, but l waited till it cooled down and than popped it in the ice. and boy did everyone in the house fall in love with it, so I'm making more tomorrow for lunch after church. thanks for sharing this recipe with us....

[@dsnyguy1]

Have you ever added Dill, either fresh or dried? Adds a nice flavor!

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Hi Michael, yes I have added dill and I included it as a suggestion in the description for other suggested ingredients along with some others. Thank you for watching one of my videos! ~michael

[@randolphpatterson5061]

I had problems with the potatoes getting mushy, so I started boiling them unpeeled in salted water, uncovered, then I rinse & chill them, peel by hand, and dice. They don't get half-mashed when I stir them in, and they aren't ever dry or undercooked.

[@bd3825]

Gosh! my mouth is watering. That's one beautiful potato salad.

It sure would be nice if you subscribed, thank you for watching! ~Michael

I love the fact that you cut your potatoes into chunks. Too many people make potato salad like mush. This is a nice recipe.

[@susanbelknap4841]

This is delish just the way it is, only thing I changed was I used dill relish(I don't like sweet), I always sucked at making potato salad, always winded up either crunchy potatoes or mushy like for mashed potatoes, this is just perfect! I love all your recipes, subscribed to your channel, thanks so much!!

Just made this, it was delicious! I loved the egg, that is something I never had tried before in my homemade potato salad. Great video, thanks!

[@elainebmack]

I also like a little crunch of finely chopped celery, sweet red bell peppers which give a nice color contrast as well a crunch to all the rest of the ingredients, and I like finely sliced scalllions, again for flavor and color. I love lots of eggs like you too! I think you can't go wrong with good ingredients and good technique, like not overboiling the potatoes. Like you, I could eat an entire bowl in a day, it's that good. Great video!

[@CutePrincess05]

I found this recipe a while ago and I make it all the time now! Everyone loves it! Thanks for sharing! :)

[@rgion29247616]

This reminds me of my mom's potato salad. The only item she did not use was pickle relish. She did use red skin potatoes as freitasex said can be used. She did season it a bit differently. I liked his prepartion of the dressing and eggs to gently toss and fold in the cooked potatoes. Nice. job!

[@Peskey2010]

[@JustAboutAnything66]

Found this video while looking for new ideas for potato salad. This is practically the same way I always make it, except adding the vinegar to the hot potatoes, and I use paprika instead of Cayenne, plus I add some finely diced celery. I just watched a video with Chef John singing the praises of Cayenne and its health benefits, Here's my first chance to start using more of it. Your channel looks great. I like how you have things categorized. Everything on your channel is either something I make regularly or looks like something I can't wait to try.
