Best Ever Potato Salad is delicious warm or cold! With only 6 ingredients, it is quick and easy to prepare.

With the warm days now, a cold side dish is welcome. Whether it is a simple supper, a family get together or a picnic, Best Ever Potato Salad will be a hit.

My Mom is known for her potato salad and asked to bring it to gatherings of all kinds. This is based on her recipe. She adds relish and uses Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise. I often use a mix of 3/4 mayonnaise and 1/4 Miracle Whip or 2/3 mayonnaise and 1/3 Miracle Whip if we want more “zing”.

Chopped onions or dill pickles are also delicious in it. It depends on what we are eating it with. The last ingredient is “chopped onions, celery, relish or chopped dill pickles” so you can add whatever your family prefers. Feel free to add more than one option!
