Hellmann's Potato Salad Recipe (The Original!)

Creamy, tangy and delicious. No summer is complete without this traditional Hellmann’s potato salad recipe! This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hellmann’s.

As crazy as it seems, summer is just around the corner. The kids are finishing up school in 2 weeks and have already started asking to get out the water toys and sprinklers. I love summer for the outdoor fun and get togethers with friends. BBQs, picnics, I love it all!

When I think of my favorite summertime recipes, potato salad is right up on the top of my list, along with my favorite homemade pasta salad, and I usually bring it to big group activities. Derrick doesn’t care for it and I don’t usually make a batch to eat by myself, so picnics and BBQs it is!

My favorite recipe is the simplest. Just potatoes, mayo, and a few seasonings. Hellmann’s Recipes has one that is very similar to the one I grew up on and it has quickly become a family favorite! This potato salad recipe absolutely delicious so go ahead and pin it to make sure you always have it on hand!
