For a tangier flavor, add 1-2 tablespoons of yellow mustard or apple cider vinegar to the mayonnaise mixture. If you prefer a sweeter potato salad, add 1/4 cup of sweet pickle relish or a tablespoon of sugar. For a smoky flavor, try adding 1/2 cup of crumbled cooked bacon. Ensure the potatoes are not overcooked, as they will become mushy in the salad. Adjust the mayonnaise to your liking. Some prefer a creamier salad, while others like it lighter. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper before refrigerating.
