For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the mayonnaise. If you prefer a tangier potato salad, add a splash of white vinegar or lemon juice. For a heartier salad, add sliced hard-boiled eggs. Feel free to experiment with different herbs such as fresh dill or parsley for a pop of freshness.
