People take their potato salad very seriously here in the South. I learned that pretty quickly when I moved to Southern Louisiana over twenty years ago (omg, how has it been that long??). I was never a fan of potato salad in my youth, but it quickly became my favorite after eating it made the Southern<\/em> way\u2014with mayo and <\/em>mustard. My version is rich, creamy, tangy, and with just the right amount of crunch. This Southern Style Potato Salad is pure comfort food, the kind that shows up at every cookout and makes you go back for seconds.<\/p>\n

Easy Recipe for Southern Style Potato Salad<\/h2>\n

This Southern style potato salad has a creamy and tangy dressing that has both mayonnaise and<\/em> mustard, plus plenty of texture from the finely diced celery and sweet relish. Of course, every family has their own take on a Southern potato salad, but this is the one I was introduced to and the one I keep coming back to (I\u2019m a little bit obsessed). \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I do like my potato salad with slightly less dressing, rather than super heavy or goopy, so if you like yours more \u201cwet,\u201d you may want to make more dressing. I\u2019ve also shared some of my favorite substitutions and variations at the end if you want to make this recipe your own!<\/p>\n
