Interesting, since my Grandpa Kuntz’s German Mennonite family recipe is actually a formula: One potato to one boiled egg to 1/4 onion, MAYONNAISE to bind. Better than a set recipe for a farm family, since it covers everything from a family lunch to a table full of field hands to a church social.
I will add some sour cream and maybe fresh dill, but never sweet pickles or bell pepper … though I am perfectly content to eat almost any potato salad offered, I stick to The Kuntz Canon in my kitchen. If I’m feeling lazy (as happens more frequently these days), I will buy Trader Joe’s potato salad (pretty close to mine,and the ONLY bought one that gets the potatoes right!) and bump it with egg and onion, plus a tad more mayonnaise.
