Easy Southern Potato Salad

A classic Southern Potato Salad, just like Grandma used to make; this easy old-fashioned side-dish is creamy, tangy deliciousness. And, it’s full of crunchy dill pickles, yellow mustard, mayonnaise, and must-have hard-boiled eggs!

When I was a young kid, I loved being my mother’s helper in the kitchen, especially when she made her famous potato salad. I always beat my siblings to the front of the taste tester line on southern-style potato salad days because it was my absolute favorite!

What is southern potato salad?

When I think of southern-style food, fried chicken and potato salad immediately come to mind. I can’t imagine going to a potluck supper, a backyard cookout or holiday get together without a big bowl of potato salad and fried chicken front and center.

  • 3 pounds of russet potatoes
  • 1 cup of mayo (adjust if you want more or less)

  3. Once fully cooked, add the potatoes to an ice bath to shock and cool.
  4. Once the potatoes are fully cooled, peel off the skin and cut them into large chunks
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and sugar.
