A creamy, flavorful potato salad with eggs, onion, and a tangy mayonnaise dressing, perfect for picnics, barbecues, or family dinners.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Add the grated eggs and chopped onion to the boiled and cubed potatoes.
- Mix mayonnaise with the Good Seasons dressing mix, garlic salt, and pepper.
- Add the mayonnaise mixture to the potato, egg, and onion mixture.
- Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your preferred creaminess.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a tangy twist. If you're short on time, pre-boiled potatoes can be found at grocery stores. Fresh herbs like dill or parsley can add a nice flavor boost. Adjust the onion quantity based on your taste preference, or substitute with scallions for a milder flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This potato salad pairs beautifully with grilled meats and is a perfect side for summer picnics. It complements dishes like BBQ chicken or ribs, and can be served alongside other sides like coleslaw or corn on the cob. For a complete meal, consider serving it with a refreshing Green Chili Squash Casserole.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover potato salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To keep it fresh, avoid adding extra mayonnaise until serving. If you need to reheat it, try warming it gently in a microwave, but cold potato salad is often enjoyed best straight from the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this potato salad ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, making it a day in advance allows the flavors to meld together nicely. Just keep it refrigerated and give it a gentle stir before serving to refresh the texture.
What can I use instead of Good Seasons dressing mix?
If you don’t have Good Seasons dressing mix, you can create a substitute using equal parts of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. This will give your potato salad a similar flavor profile.
Is it possible to make this recipe vegan?
Yes, you can easily make this potato salad vegan by using a plant-based mayonnaise alternative and omitting the eggs. It will still be delicious and creamy without compromising on taste.
