Okay, potato salad lovers. Are you ready for The Best Potato Salad?
Good! I am ready for you to make it! This recipe has IT ALL and it really rings true to a delicious old-fashioned potato salad that you’d eat at a BBQ restaurant or potluck feast! It’s got that perfect combination of creamy, mustardy, and tangy. All the things I personally love most about this classic dish.
So as you continue to enjoy the summer sun, be sure to make a batch of this for yourself!! Not only is it great for parties, but it’s also great for meal prep!

- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup very finely diced yellow onion about 1/4 large onion
- 1/4 cup diced celery or 1 large stalk

- 1 tsp Louisiana style hot sauce
- 1 tsp coconut sugar Omit for Whole30!
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
Instructions
Cook the potatoes:
- Scrub the potatoes and cut into 1 inch pieces. Place in large pot. Fill the pot with water until the potatoes are just covered by one inch. Place over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add 2 tsp kosher salt and cook, boiling and uncovered, until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let the steam from the potatoes release (this prevents your potato salad from getting watery).
- Place the tender potatoes in a large bowl with the onion, celery, grated hard-boiled egg, mayo, dijon mustard, yellow mustard, white vinegar, hot sauce, coconut sugar, garlic powder, and turmeric. Mix until very well combined.
- Taste and add plenty of kosher salt and pepper to taste. It's potato salad — it needs lots of salt 😉
- Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving! It's great if you make ahead and serve the next day to allow the flavors more time to meld!
