Potato Salad Recipe Ingredients
One of the reasons I really love this salad is not only because it brings back childhood memories but because the ingredients. These are ingredients everyone should always have on hand. It is super simple to boil the potatoes and mix in some additional vegetables. If you have a few herbs on hand year-round don’t be afraid to add dill, parsley and even some chives to this dish. Below you will find the basic list. Scroll to the bottom of the post to find the printable recipe card.

- celery
- onion
- sweet pickle relish
- mayonnaise

Now if you do not have these items on the pantry list I suggest doing so. There are many different recipes I share on my website blog that use these fairly inexpensive ingredients.
Potato Salad Herb Extras
First off please note that it just isn’t summer potato salad without some fresh herbs. Two of my favorite things to grow year-round are dill and parsley. Both grow amazing in my dome greenhouse and in the house hydroponic systems.

I took the time to add this recipe to my printable option category on this site. Please be sure to share this with your friends on social media with the links at the bottom of the page. Do not forget to get creative and use different versions of the ingredients. As I noted in this post I LOVE using fresh dill from the garden but you can also use a sweet pickle relish with dill they sell at Kroger and Walmart.

Once the potatoes are very tender, drain off all the water. Make sure potatoes are diced into bite size pieces before adding mayonnaise mix.
Gently fold in celery and onions before adding egg slices and paprika on top. Refrigerate for up to 4 hours if needed but maybe served immediately.
- For best flavor, make potato salad with fresh dill and parsley. This can be stored in refrigerator for up to a week.
This recipe can be doubled easily to make for pot-lucks and get togethers. I love making this recipe and serving it warm because it reminds me of my German potato salad recipe.
