I am making this recipe right now. : ) It is dh's favorite. The most important step to him is to make sure that the potatoes are fully cooked. He complains that most store potato salads have undercooked potatoes.
3lbs red potatoes
3/4 cup blush wine vinaigrette salad dressing
(any favorite vinaigrette would work)
2-3 stalks of celery
6-7 hard boiled eggs
mayo and mustard
Place potatoes in cold water, bring to a boil and boil for 15 minutes. Cool to touch, peel and slice. Mix potatoes with the dressing as you cut them to stop browning. Let sit 3 hours (you can skip this if you are in a hurry). Boil eggs (cool water to a boil and then 10 minutes) Cool eggs, peel and chop eggs, Add mayo and celery and mustard, stir. Add eggs and stir. Enjoy. : )

Funny you should ask... I was just coming on to find a recipe too! I always 'wing' mine and, while everyone LOVES it, I wanted something different. I'm going to allrecipes.com to see if I can find something fantastic!
Mine goes like this:
Peel and dice probably 5-6 big potatoes
Add water and eggs and boil (i cook my eggs with the potatoes to save that step)
Cool both to touch then peel eggs.
Dump potatoes in large bowl and cut up eggs on top.
Cut several small cucumbers and add.
Add generous amount of mayo and stir until blended.
Squirt mustard (probably about a tablespoonful) and stir.
Add white sugar (probably about 2-4 tablespoons depending on how sweet you like it)
Chop several dill pickles or use a tablespoon or 2 of dill pickle relish.
Sprinkle a little red wine or cider vinegar over all and stir.
Salt, pepper and a wee bit of garlic powder to taste.
I've done different variations... my kids like the addition of bacon or bacon bits (the real bits, I have never tried Baco's) and sometimes even cheddar cheese. The main recipe stays the same but I add those sometimes to it. I've also added tomatoes if I have some... and/or black olives.
I 'eye' everything tho because my mother always did! My kids and husband are good to me tho... everytime I make it they tell me it's the BEST one I have ever made and they gobble it right up!
I bought red potatoes this time and they are cooking now with the eggs... but I'm going to see if I can find a different recipe... maybe one with sour cream?

Want something easy?
Red potatoes

Salt and pepper.
You boil the potatoes, mix the rest of the ingredients and add them to the warm potatoes! YUMMY.

here is mine.
Boil potatoes skin still on until fork tender. I used Russet but you can use red if you like.
When cool enough to handle, peel and chuck potatoes, I make my chunks about the size or a LARGE marshmellow.
Add mayo, parmasan cheese, garlic powder OR Garlic salt.
Use just enough mayo to hold it together NOT a very mayo'y recipe at all.
My mom adds minced fresh Parsley to "add color and texture" - I don't like it that way.

I put minced green pepper onion and sometimes celery. I make up a dressing with some miracle whip (you could use mayonnaise), a squirt of mustard, a bit of sugar and some pickle juice or vinegar if I have it on hand. I also use salt and pepper. I don't measure, I just mix it until it tastes good.
Also, today I had some bottled cole slaw dressing and used that for the dressing and it was very yummy.
