Ingredients For Red Bliss Potato Salad:
Typical basic ingredients for homemade Red Potato salad include:
● 3 pounds cubed, boiled red potatoes
● 1 teaspoon white or apple cider vinegar
● 1/2 cup mayonnaise (We hear Duke’s mayonnaise is awesome!)
● 1 cup yogurt or sour cream
● 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard or 1 tsp mustard powder (dry mustard)
● black pepper
● salt
Directions:
Place the red bliss potatoes in a large stainless steel pot with enough water to cover. Bring them to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain, then transfer to a large bowl to cool. Sprinkle the vinegar over the red potatoes while they are still warm.
In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper.

MAYONNAISE OR VINEGAR DRESSING FOR RED POTATO SALAD?
“Mayonnaise. It’s got to be homemade or Duke’s.”
Apparently, for thousands of people around the South, there is no other mayonnaise but the legendary Duke’s Mayonnaise.
“I love Duke’s Mayonnaise,” says Virginia Willis, food writer & cookbook author. Duke’s is a little more acidic, a little more zesty than other brands. “And that little bit of acid really makes flavors pop.”
“For me, it’s got to be homemade or Duke’s,” she says.

Simple Homemade Red Bliss Potato Salad Recipe
We don’t have anything but Dukes in our house, I did you not. Nothing else compares!
This is a great recipe for summertime because I can take it to picnics and feed larger crowds on a budget. Potato salad is one of my favorite side dishes ever. My grandma used to make it for us all the time. Store-bought is so gross!
I am definitely making this for my next summer BBQ! I live in Canada and I order Dukes from Amazon because you can’t get it here. It’s sooooo good!
There’s nothing better than a refreshing side of potato salad on a warm summer’s day, YUM!
It’s not a BBQ if there is no potato salad to accompany it! And, as an avid spud lover, I am guilty of having potato salad sandwiches with any leftovers. It’s got to be home-made!
