I believe you missed the point folks.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

You should probably go eat at Louie Mueller's first before you dog out this recipe. It is meant to compliment the meat that... is served there. And it does, perfectly. If your making this recipe, ensure the meat you are serving is WELL seasoned, mainly with black pepper. Do that, and you will enjoy this fine side dish.Read more

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize this recipe is just WRONG!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This recipe has most of the usual ingredients for American style potato salad, but a few very key ingredients are missing. ... Mainly, onion and spices... Also, the little bit of goodies against 10 lbs of potatoes isn't right and NO SALT??? How could anyone eat this without salt or substitute??? I love potatoes, but they are bland without seasonings. I know I shouldn't be rating a recipe since I haven't tried it, and normally I wouldn't, but come on.... It doesn't take a chef to realize when a recipe can't be right. For big parties (makes a HUGE bowl full) I make 10 lbs of potatoes along with a dozen eggs, about 1 1/2 to 2 cups mayo, several heaping tablespoons relish, a couple teaspoons yellow mustard, maybe 2 cups each of finely chopped onion and celery, salt or season salt and pepper to taste. I also put in dried or fresh parsley, paprika, and maybe onion or garlic powder. You can add all kinds of extras like bell pepper, pimento, olives, etc, etc if you like, but this is the basics. FoodTV please correct this recipe. And for the lady that gave this recipe a 5 star rating, are you being paid to put comments on this site???? Or are you friends with the person who created the recipe??? Just wondering because you surely didn't make and eat this as written to come up with the 5 stars.Read more

something's wrong
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

You need a lot more of everything in the recipe if you're trying to flavor 10 pounds of potatoes. Looks to me like they... scaled everything but the potatoes for home cooks.Read more

Not enough mayo
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The over all ingredients for this potato salad was really very good, but 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise for 10 pounds of... potatoes wasn't even close to coat this salad. I added a lot more mayo to our own taste. I will have to watch that show to see if there was a mistake with this ingredient.Read more
