Classic Potato Salad

"This is my favorite potato salad, ever. The last time I made it, this past Monday, I did not have any sour cream, so I upped the mayo. I also did not have any bacon, so I made it without. I LOVE the extra flavor from the dill pickle juice. I made a double batch, and there was only 1/2 cup left by the end of the meal. I'm pretty sure everyone went back for thirds. This is a keeper, share-the-love recipe." —Brigette, Reader

"I love the combination of cooling yogurt clinging to the creamy, waxy potatoes. Yukon golds stay relatively firm and hold up well to the sauce. A handful of dill and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice keep it refreshing for summertime." —Karishma Pradhan, Recipe Developer

"This is great. FYI: Makes a ton if you are only cooking for two. Worth sharing with neighbors. Favorite pot salad besides mother-in-law's traditional with mayo. Thank you!" —arthistorybabe, Reader

Ranch Potato Salad

"I developed this recipe to be a crowd-pleaser (and me-pleaser), using one of the most beloved flavors—ranch—and a hefty dose of pickles plus their brine for a little puckery pizzazz. Plenty of crunchy bacon provides a savory saltiness, a handful of celery adds crunch, and dill brings its fresh, summery aroma to the party." —Megan Scott, Former Senior Editor

"I just made this last night, and it was delicious! Lots of flavor, and much better than the traditional mayo-filled potato salads. I followed the recipe to a tee, and there's no need for modifications—but the idea of added chickpeas to turn it into a (vegan!) main course is a great one!" —Delphine, Reader

Deviled Egg Potato Salad

"I really enjoyed the tangy creaminess of the deviled egg potatoes—it felt like the best of both worlds between deviled eggs and potato salad. The celery added a nice crunch and a pop of green, while the onion contributed a pleasant burst of sweetness that I really liked." —Frank, Reader

4-Generation Potato Salad

"The genius of this potato salad is that as the potatoes cool, they soak up the vinegar flavor before they soak up the mayonnaise, which means the vinegar doesn't get lost, but the end result is still really creamy, satisfying both Camp Vinegar and Camp Mayo." —Jess Thomson, Recipe Developer

Ensalada Rusa

"Ensalada rusa, or 'Russian salad,' is a Spanish riff on the Olivier salad, created by and named for French and Belgian chef Lucien Olivier, who owned a restaurant in Moscow in the 19th century. The potato dish was a sensation and became popular throughout the world. It remains so today, especially in Eastern and Central Europe and Latin America, with many variations, including this Spanish take." —Jeanette Hurt, Recipe Developer

German Potato Salad

"For German potato salad, sliced potatoes are tossed with bacon, sautéed onions, fresh herbs, and a mustardy white wine dressing. It's a nice change-up from the classic mayonnaise-based version, and you can serve it warm or chilled." —Coco Morante, Recipe Developer

"Made it for Father's Day, reminded me of what I used to make off the top of my head, and like my mom's. I think it is the russets and pickle juice... doubled the recipe, and no one refused a take-home container. Excellent!" —Melinda, Reader
