This classic potato salad is a crowd-pleaser, perfect for potlucks, barbecues, or any summer gathering. I've been making this recipe for years, and it's always a hit! The potatoes are tender and flavorful, thanks to a tangy marinade. The addition of diced onions and celery seed adds a delightful crunch and aroma. It's best served chilled, making it a refreshing side dish. This recipe is easily adaptable – feel free to add chopped celery or hard-boiled eggs for extra texture and flavor. It's a vegetarian-friendly option that's sure to be a hit with everyone!
