Potato Salad Recipe: The Cookout Side Dish That Steals the Show

Potato salad is the most debated side dish in American cookout culture. Mayo-based or mustard-based? Warm or cold? Chunky or smooth? Eggs or no eggs?

The answer to all of these questions is: it depends on the dressing. And the dressing that makes potato salad great is built around Yooze It Sauce® Original.

Ingredients (serves 8–10):

• 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (or red potatoes)
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 3 tbsp Yooze It Sauce® Original
• 2 tbsp yellow mustard
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp celery salt
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 3 stalks celery (diced)
• 1/2 cup red onion (finely diced)
• 3 hard-boiled eggs (diced)
• 1/4 cup dill pickles (diced)
• 2 tbsp fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried)
• Paprika for garnish

Instructions:

Step 1: Cook the potatoes

1. Cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks (leave skin on for Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
2. Place in cold salted water, bring to a boil
3. Cook 12–15 minutes until fork-tender but not falling apart
4. Drain and let cool slightly — dress while still warm

Step 2: The dressing

1. Whisk together mayo, Yooze It, mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt, salt, and pepper
2. Taste the dressing before adding to potatoes — adjust seasoning

Step 3: Assemble

1. Toss warm potatoes with dressing
2. Fold in celery, red onion, eggs, pickles, and dill
3. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, ideally overnight
4. Garnish with paprika before serving

Always dress potato salad while the potatoes are still warm. Warm potatoes absorb the dressing and become flavorful throughout. Cold potatoes just get coated on the outside.

Yooze It Sauce® adds a tangy, savory depth to the dressing that plain mayo cannot provide. It replaces the need for extra mustard or vinegar and adds bold flavor with 0g of sugar.
