Best store-bought potato salad

[Celebrator]

Since we are kicking off Summer this weekend, I thought I would ask which store-bought potato salad you think is the best. I really prefer making my own, but sometimes when you get a last minute BBQ invite you have go pre-made. So let's have some recommendations. I'll take anything from mass-produced/marketed to locally made as long as it's really good. Thanks.

Zoe's Kitchen has good potato salad

Reser's is good for "store-bought". . . .

[RadicalModerate]

I agree with the Reser's suggestion. Especially if you go with the "Mustard" variety. Extra-especially if you doctor it up a little. (went to Zoe's Kitchen, for the first time, the other day. Didn't have their potato salad . . . but if it's as good as what I DID have, it would beat Reser's by a mile.)

The tater salad at Das Bootcamp in Norman is quite yummy. Not as good as that made by my lovely or my probable DiL, but still very good.

Is Reser's widely available?

[RadicalModerate]

I'm not sure that I've ever been in a grocery store that didn't carry Reser's products. They have (at least) two varieties of potato salad (again: the Mustard is better, imho) and coleslaw as well. They may even package macaroni salad.

Reeser's Red Potato Salad is their best.

The potato salad sold at Braum's is pretty tasty

agree on the zoes suggestion and also Earls has good pot. salad.

Man, there are a lot of things I like at Earl's, but potato salad isn't one of them.

[okatty]

Really!?!? Wow, we do our own meats and then get their okra, pot salad and a couple of coblers. Then go into a coma.

I like their potato salad...after I put a couple of tablespoons of mustard into it. BBQ joint potato salad should be mustard-forward. Amiwrong?

[okatty]

Think you are right that the good ol southern / grandma styled PS is mustard based. Good idea to add some!

Get a rope.

Tater salad must, must, must be mustard based, and must not have onion in it. Unless my youngest son''s dear lass makes it, and well, who I am to get in the way of young love.

Of course, two reasons to adore the dear lass is she leaves the onion big enough to I can work around it and she doesn't smirk much when I add extra mustard to mine (no sech thang as too much mustard).

Agree with mustard being a must have except when devouring potato salad at the Old Germany Oktoberfest.

While some prefer mayo or mustard forward, I am of the opinion that the potatoes are the featured performer. So to me it is critical that the potato has to be either red or yukon gold. Those russetts just get to mealy when cooked for potato salad.

[RadicalModerate]

Red or Yukon Gold potatoes (cut into 1+" chunks) . . . onion . . . celery . . . pickles . . . (diced red bell pepper) . . . Mayo or Miracle Whip . . . Mustard . . . (pickle juice) . . . salt . . . pepper. Plus thirty minutes. Et voila.

When I am making it pretty I buy a couple pounds of the baby multicolored potatoes. They don't have to cook long so they hold their shape.

Easy,
German potato salad is the only kind I like. I don't care for mustard. And Old Germany does a nice job in my opinion.

I like German potato salad and creamy types of potato salad, just not with BBQ. It's gotta be mustard.

Ingrid's will sell theirs in large quantities. Not strictly a "store," but probably the best PS in town.

No recommendations for store bought but we ate at The Willows at Riverwind today and they had "Ranch potatoes" which was basically a potato salad made with ranch dressing. Might be a good DIY project for the chefs out there. This particular dish had small potatoes sliced in "disks", like most of the German potato salad I've had, some celery and a ranch dressing based sauce. It was by far the best thing we ate off of their buffet.
