My husband loves my potato salad…finally. After years of trying to use my moms recipe…she has never written it down or measured ingredients. I finally decided to try my hand at my own recipe. My husband will send me sweet texts about my potato salad. It makes me smile and beam with pride.
I bake the potatoes instead of boiling them because I don’t like how the potatoes are soggy after boiling.
I always mix the wet ingredients and seasonings together and then add the potatoes, celery, and red onion in. After I mix all the ingredients together I sprinkle the top with sweet paprika and mix it in.
