Mustard Potato Salad – A Family Favorite

Mustard Potato Salad

Mustard potato salad is only one version of how you can turn the humble potato into a delicious side dish. But, in my family this version with sweet pickle relish, mustard, creamy salad dressing, eggs, onion, and celery, this is IT.

Potato salad is a dish made from boiled potatoes and a variety of other ingredients. It is generally considered a side dish, as it usually accompanies the main course. Potato salad is widely believed to have originated in Germany, spreading largely throughout Europe, European colonies and later Asia.
