Potato Salad: simple, or complex?

[perttime]

We often make it sort of "German style", but with some sun-dried tomatoes (preserve in oil) cut into small pieces.

I like mustard style, thick and sticky. Basic version has eggs, onion and dill pickles. Fancy version adds bacon and red jalapeños.

I'm now on my second dig of Charlotte new potatoes on soil that I've worked and improved since 2004 when it was a dump.
I have a hundred year old potato lifter (a giant fork that is almost as heavy as me),

We simply lightly brush them then boil them and serve with a little butter.
Potatoes like this have all the taste that we generally miss with commercially grown spuds.

I've never made it, but I do like Publix 'Southern Style.' I think it's the mustard that makes the difference.

really enjoying reading all the replies, and variations!
In real life, as we get older...convenience plays a big factor and gets bonus points.

Hmmmm. Not sure "some chopped parsley" makes a lb of bacon (and its fat!) AND a cup of sugar, healthy. Mind you, it sounds delicious and I would eat it, but nay, parsley will not suck the unhealthy out of it.

I like most potato salads in all their varieties. However, I have never, ever, had take out that was any good. Well, except for a deli in Montreal, and another in New York.
