I had some potato salad last night that was so good. It had some kind of dressing on it but I couldn't tell what it was. I usually just put Mayo and mustard on it and leave it at that but this wasn't so strong tasting and it allowed the flavors of the eggs and onions to come through.
I was thinking of mixing half Mayo and have sour cream with a little bit of mustard and see if that sounds good.
What do you guys put on your potato salad?
I don't use pre-made salad dressings unless they are organic and I don't think I would care for an all oil and vinegar type dressing. I guess that might be good if mixed with sour cream though.
I know what all you add in with the potatos is a personal thing, I personally like white mild onions, egg and pickles.
Drain potatoes and while hot
add chopped green pepper
chopped onion
couple of scallions
salt/pepper
chopped hard cooked eggs
Pour on French dressing-Mix all carefully so potatoes don't mash.
Let this sit refrigerated at least 4 hrs.
Mix mayo, dijon mustard, couple tsps lemon juice.
Sprinkle flat leaf parseley on top.
I've made it also with a mix of sour cream, mayo,horseradish, eggs, bacon, scallions-nice change.
Boil scrubbed new potatoes, drain and can be cut in half.
Put in large bowl and add finely sliced spring onions.
Heat garlic oil and crisp up bacon rashers- remove to a plate.
Take oil off the heat and add a slightly larger quantity of white wine vinegar, and wholegrain mustard. Stir and tip in potatoes with onoins. Toss together.
Can be left at this point for up to an hour or so.
When ready to serve, crumble in most of the bacon, toss and garnish with the rest of the bacon- again crumbled.

I have made some similar to that, it's really good! We don't care for eggs in our potato salads.
One other thing you might throw into a potato salad with mayo/sour cream/etc. is a dash of chopped dried dill. We always leave the skin on our potatoes too, I use the small baby potatoes, fingerlings, or cut up gold potatoes.
I HATE mayo. - I make mine w/potatoes, sliced onions and cucumbers - then I make a mix of Apple Cider vinegar, Italian seasoning, pepper, garlic powder and a little oil - yummy. Plus it has the Plus of not having mayo. so it can sit out longer.
Make it a day ahead if possible so the flavors can marinate.
