Potato Salad not like Mother's or Granny's

[lucy330]

In all the postings about Potato Salad and what's good and what's not quite right, I wonder if any of you all have specified the kind of mayonnaise to use. I now live in the Northern Midwest, MI to be exact, and we can't get DUKE's Mayonnaise. Therefore my potato salad is NEVER as good as Mama's or my Grandma's. Every time I get to middle Georgia I stock up and it lasta only a few months. Hate to ask my family to mail me mayonnaise. Enjoy being here.

Hi and welcome Lucy330!

Have you tried looking at all the ingredients on the Duke's jar? You could compare the difference with one or two of the other brands and maybe add something here and there to give your potato salad some oomph!! Or maybe tell Santa that you would like a good supply of Duke's for Christmas! ;D Anyway, I am serious about checking the contents (ingredients) to see if maybe you can boost your salad up using another brand.

I have never heard of Duke's brand mayonnaise! When I use mayonnaise I use Helmann's or Kraft. They are the only 2 brands I have ever seen besides the store brands.

Good luck!!!!!!
