This Potato Salad is an easy and comforting side for any protein you choose to barbecue or bake. We’ve enjoyed it with hamburgers and smoked pork. Great for a picnic, potluck or barbecue.
Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 pounds of small red potatoes
- 4 eggs hard boiled
- 2 stalks of celery, diced
- 1/2 small white onion diced
- 1/4-1/2 cup cooked bacon bits
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 or 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
- 1 handful chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Method:
- Boil unpeeled potatoes in salted water until fork tender, drain and chop into bite sized pieces and add into large bowl.
- Shell and dice the eggs and add to the potatoes.
- Add the diced celery and onion to the bowl.
- While the potatoes and eggs are still hot add the mayonnaise and mustard and mix well.
- Mix in the parsley.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover and store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Because you cook the potatoes in salted water you might not need too much extra salt for the finished product. I added a 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper to start and then tasted to see if it needed more.

Looks delicious.
Sounds good but I’d leave the eggs out. 🙂
Hi Ellen,
Thank you so much for sharing this easy and comforting potato salad recipe! It sounds absolutely delicious and perfect for any barbecue or picnic. I can imagine it pairing well with burgers and smoked pork.
I wanted to suggest adding a commonly used ingredient in Dutch salads: pickles. Adding some diced pickles can provide a tangy and crunchy element to the salad, enhancing the flavors even more. It’s a popular addition in many Dutch potato salads and adds a delightful twist.
Once again, thank you for the recipe, and I can’t wait to give it a try.

Aritha, we love pickles and I would add those for sure. Thanks for the reminder!
That looks delicious Ellen. We will be hosting a barbecue for the rehearsal dinner for our son’s wedding summer. I will have to test this one out. Thank you for sharing.
I love potato salad! Your photo made my mouth water.
I am doing low carb lately and can’t have anything “white” ( meaning anything delcious…lol) which is really hard, but I’m determined to stick with it as part of a clinical trail study I joined. I’ll blog about it someday.
Bacon makes everything better. 🙂
