Everyone has their own unique way of making potato salad. This creamy old-fashioned potato salad recipe from Grandma has a secret step that makes it even more flavorful: letting the potatoes soak up red wine vinegar before adding the rest of the ingredients. Smart, right? This is one tasty potato salad recipe that needs to be in your recipe box.
There are only six ingredients in this simple low-sugar, budget-friendly potato salad recipe: red or Yukon gold potatoes (check out the health benefits of potatoes), red wine vinegar (Granny's secret weapon), fresh parsley, green onions, mayonnaise and garlic salt. After the potatoes are cooked and cut into pieces, they are drizzled with the red wine vinegar and allowed to hang out for about five minutes. Stir in the parsley, green onions, mayonnaise and garlic salt, and this salad is ready to be eaten immediately or popped into the refrigerator.
Serve this creamy potato salad as a side dish with pork, chicken or beef. It's the perfect salad to take to potlucks, cookouts or other summer get-togethers.
