Potato salad consistency is a personal preference. Start with 1.5 cups of mayonnaise and add more if needed. The potatoes will absorb some of the dressing as they sit, so a little extra mayo can help keep it creamy.
Customize the Flavor
This recipe is quite flexible. You can add more mustard for a tangier flavor, or a little more dill relish if you enjoy a sharper pickle taste.
