Potato Salad with Mayonnaise

Potato Salad with Mayonnaise

Everyday

Potato salad with mayonnaise is a classic cold dish featuring boiled potatoes coated in a creamy mayonnaise-based dressing, often enhanced with crunchy additions like celery, onions, or pickles. This staple of picnics and barbecues provides a high-carbohydrate base from potatoes paired with significant fat content from mayonnaise, while optional ingredients like hard-boiled eggs or mustard can alter its protein and flavor profile. Traditional versions contain eggs (from mayo) and gluten-containing additives in some dressings, though vegan variations using plant-based mayo are increasingly common.
