It's nothing special. It's just the recipe I experimented with probably 20 years ago and have never changed. It came from looking at other recipes and then of course incorporating my own touches through trial and error.
Again, it is not special. It's just mine.
Considering I had a handful of potatoes in the cupboard slowly turning into aliens I thought I may as well just use them up and make a potato salad. This time I used russets. But really this salad can use any kind of potato. They all work, it just changes the texture a little bit.
With this heat it's a perfect side dish. I am going to make some bratwurst on the grill with it.
What's going on your dinner table tonight?

I cooked a large batch of shawarma last night after it got dark so the house didn't heat up too much. We just have to microwave some of it for meals now.

@porwest It's thinly sliced meat, in this case, chicken, marinated in Greek yogurt and spices and then cooked on a rotisserie with bell peppers and onions baked with spices and then both loaded into a tortilla.
I don't like wraps, so I eat the chicken and veggies without putting it into a wrap.

Your potato salad is very similar to mine. It will be good with those brats.

@porwest I don't know that I've ever had brats. Well, not the food kind, lol. Just kidding, all our kids and grands have been bratty at times.

Miracle Whip? No way! Hellmann's is the way to go. For me anyway.

To each his own. Some will say Dukes is the best. I've never tried it. Have you?

@lovebuglena I have actually. If I were to HAVE to make a comparison I would say it is better than Hellman's. But not better than Miracle Whip. lol

There is only one dish from the Philippines I remember eating and liking and that was pancit. But I know there are others. I should look up recipes one of these days.
I still have the recipe for pancit you gave me but I have yet to make some.

My brother would love this recipe. He is a fan of Miracle Whip. I would need to use Hellmans.

@CarolDM I guess part of it for me is that I usually skip breakfast, my lunches are not particularly heavy—although almost always leftovers—so dinners are the biggest and most important meal of my day.
Even on weekends I sometimes skip lunch and just have a light snack.

I have come across to one of the post that he's tired of eating the same foods all over again everyday. But you're too different. You eat that kind of recipe which you invented 20 years ago.

Kosher Salt?

@JimBo452020 Technically it is, I suppose, but it's just a coarser salt really.

It sounds very good. I wrote about my casserole on another post you had. I still have some cheddar brats. You should take a look at my post Rosols the ultimate Latvian salad,

I love potato salad and it does go well with almost anything you make on the grill.
I've added pickle juice to my potato salad but not pickle relish. I like that idea!
Pizza here tonight

The pickle relish part I think comes from the traditional mustard style one which typically uses it. My recipe is just sort of a little bit of this style and that style made into one I think. lol
Pizza sounds delicious, although I do recognize you ate yours about three months ago.
