My German grandmother's version included peeled waxy potatoes, chopped dill pickles, onion and green apple, REAL MAYONNAISE (Hellmans in a pinch) and lots of parsley.  Plus s & p. I sometimes put a tablespoon of wine vinegar and a quarter to a half a teaspoon of sugar.  The key is to keep testing it until it's absolutely right.  This is generally the reason I start out with double of what I end up with.

B & T!  I made it kinda half-assed Southern style with not enough vinegar or mustard or Hellmann's  but they could taste the bacon!  will post a before/ after set later if I'm not passed out!

Never been a huge potato salad fan but the best place I have had it from threw some mustard into the recipe. It definitely worked, but you definitely wouldn't want to overdo it.

I like potato salad either way.
With mustard or mayonnaise.
Your recipe and that picture sound/look delicious.

Sparklemotion has a really good roasted red potato salad recipe that was vinegar based.  The key was to get good color on the potatoes.  I think he made an emulsion out of the vinegar, and used some dill in it.  He may or may not have had saffron in there as well.  I was fortunate enough to have some when it was still hot, and it was "the best fucking potato salad I'd ever had".  It also had bacon in it - of course.


I get his and this one my wife makes confused, as I know she boils her potatoes in saffron water.
