easy on the seasoning salt

Made your warm potato salad recipe.Everyhting was fine and smelled great till I added the 2 tablespoons of seasoning salt.It was way too much salt.I tried to save it by adding some sour cream but the flavor of the seasoning salt was just too strong.I think I will try the recipe again but this time I'll use a teaspoon at a time of the seasoning salt and see how it tastes.I wonder if there was a misprint in the recipe.




Awsome

This is the best potato salad, and yes it is best at room temp right after making it, but equally good the next day after the flavors have meshed. It is just great, I even used Hellmanns Lite mayo and Lite Sour Cream, omitted the green peppers and it was awesome. Gave out the recipe to FOUR of my ten guests!

Great recipe but the 2 tablespoons of seasoning salt has got to be a mistake. Way to much. It was so good we tried to eat it anyway. I'll try 2 tsps next time.




Outstanding!

I made this for company to go with my Fried Pork Tenderloin sandwiches and it was a hit! Everyone agreed it was a wonderful change from the mayo laden potatoe salads most everyone fixes for a pot luck lunch. It's a keeper *fer sure*!!

I made this for a barbeque and was disappointed when there wasn't any left to take back home. Then I doubled the recipe next time and it was almost gone again. Be sure to have plenty of potatoes, the dressing will cover alot and go easy on the seasoning salt. This is a keeper!




Awesome!

I served this recipe to my family and new in-laws and it was a hit with everyone. Its a fresh twist on the same old mayo potato salad. Its delicious and just as tasty as leftovers. I am basically a "new" cook to the kitchen and this was not too difficult to make -- the hardest part was ensuring all the potatos were thoroughly cooked when I doubled the recipe. Enjoy!

I wasn't thrilled with this, however my family gave it good reviews. I thought it was a touch bland and a bit dry. The warm potatoes really soaked up the dressing. I'll probably make it again sometime and add more sour cream, definately a bit more dijon for flavor.

You must use the right seasoning salt

User: KIMBERLY from Quartz Hill, CA    User Rating:
For those who said this was too salty, it is if you use Lawry's seasoning salt or maybe some others. Jane's Crazy Mixed Up Salt isn't overly salty. If you stick to this brand, then the recipe is perfect.

Perfect with barbecued chicken and corn on the cob hot off the grill. Pimentoes added a splash of color. I used 1 tsp. regular salt and it was perfect. The red potatoes were great. We'll use this many times!

I decided to try this instead of my old standby Hellman's Mayonnaise recipe for a small gathering. I was so happy I did! It was truly wonderful. Everyone commented so. I think the sour cream did the trick. It was so creamy. Thanks again Paula for a great recipe!

I omitted the bell pepper and pimento and added some fresh dill. I also always use Blue Plate mayo in any recipe calling for mayo. It turned out really good and was just as yummy the next day after sitting in the fridge all night. Would definitely make this again!

I've never done a potato salad before, and my mom's is so good that I was worried I might not like this one. It was delicious and my guests raved. The flavor reminded me of baked potatoes with all the toppings. It was good the next day, but it is definitely better when warm. I also use 2 teaspoons of salt vs 2 tablespoons listed.

I tried this recipe for memorial day 2006. It was a hit. My family loved it! It was very simple to prepare and the first time that we never peeled the red potatoes before boiling. The season salt make this recipe a kicker. I highly recommend it for large family functions. I will hold on to this one. We wanted something different and that is what you will receive.

Super tasty and very good. This was a huge hit at our cookout. The only recommendation I would make would be to not add all the salt to it and taste it - add more later if you need it. The leftovers seemed to get even saltier so be especially careful if you're making this ahead.

This is so near my own recipe with the exception of pimento and lemon-pepper seasoning. Strange what a couple new ingredients can do to an old stand-by recipe. A new twist and well worth it! Did I tell you Paula, I traced my family 'roots' back to Georgia? No wonder I love your cooking.

I made this when my husband grilled hamburgers and everyone loved it! Even those who don't like potato salad. This is now my standard in potato salad! I love taking this to casual summer get-togethers. Everyone always comments on how great it is. That is the genius of Paula's recipes; they are simple, but somehow far more flavorful than other similar recipes. The Jane's Crazy Mixed Up Salt is a wonderful thing to keep on hand in your pantry. This salad is just as great cold, too!

Excellent potato (and egg) salad recipe. It's similar to my grandma in-law's recipe. I particularly liked the addition of sour cream and some mayo, vs. all mayo. I topped it with crumbled bacons and substituted thawed frozen peas and carrots for the celery. Thanks, Paula!
