Classic potato salad is a beloved side dish, especially popular at barbecues and picnics. Potato salad combines tender potatoes, boiled eggs with a rich, flavourful dressing.

Most of the work that goes into making this potato salad recipe is preparing the ingredients. After that, you simply combine them gently in a large bowl, cover, and chill to let the flavours develop.

I love how simple this potato salad dressing is to make. It only has 3 ingredients and tastes so good. Mayonnaise and yogurt make the dressing extra creamy. I love the combination and find a dressing made with only mayo too heavy. Sour cream will work in a pinch if you don’t have yogurt.

Yellow mustard adds some kick and colour. I don’t like relish or the brine so I omitted that!

Feel free to adjust the dressing ingredients according to your taste preferences; adding more mustard can enhance the flavor profile without being overpowering. The best potato salads are a balance of flavors and textures, where creamy, tangy, sweet, salty, tender, and crunchy meet in perfect harmony.

This salad tastes even better the next day after chilling in the fridge. Properly wrapped and chilled, potato salad will last in the refrigerator for three or four days.

Enjoy your creamy potato salad as a delightful side dish at your next meal.
