You need mustard to "zip" it up! Fresh dill, minced dill pickle or dill relish is a must!
What about Dill weed? That is all I have in my cabinet. It tastes okay I think I may have added too much mayo though. This is my first time making potato salad and I think I should have made practice batch first...my company will be here in 30 minutes!

You don't want to make it soupy adding too much mayo and mustard. I'm really not familiar enough with dill weed to say anything. Don't overcook potatoes they'll be mush. Don't be afraid to add the mustard. It's quick and easy to boil a couple more quartered potatoes to make last minute repairs.

Thanks for the advice! ****runs to put on more potatoes****
Any ideas on new potato salad recipes? I use the small b size potatoes and usually just do the basic, potatoes, eggs, onion, celery, mayo, salt and pepper.
I can't put bacon in it since I have those who don't like bacon. Yes, can you believe anyone who doesn't like bacon? LOL
Anyway, I was thinking of zipping it up with maybe some fresh dill or whatever.
Any ideas for something new on this basic recipe
Thanks
My mother used to mix mayo and mustard into the bowl she was using fir the potato salad, and add the potatoes to that mixture while they were still hot, let them sit there for a while to sort of "marinate" while they cooled before she mixed them with the other ingredients (diced onions, green peppers, celery, and egg if I recall). The garnish was sliced eggs and paprika sprinkled on the top. Everyone loved it.
Dill is a strong flavor that dominates and dish to which it's added. The best potato salad I ever had - and I don't have the recipe - was allegedly from a country club noted for its potato salad-and included LOTS of celery and celery seed. It was wonderful. Of course it's hard to make a bad potato salad.
I tried a warm German potato salad recipe some years ago,it was so good i've been doing a version of it ever since= Warm German Potato Salad Recipe : Bobby Flay : Food Network
I've never met anyone who cant do bacon so i suppose you could leave the bacon out or just tell em no warm German potato salad for you.

Oh yes! Dang, I forgot to mention the eggs. You don't have potato salad without eggs. Your Mother had it right. Can't have too much celery either.
