Whatcha doing for Memorial Day? I hope you are having a picnic so you can make my potato salad..The World’s BEST potato salad. Those are some pretty big shoes to fill. But I tell you, this potato salad makes me very very happy.
One of my sisters besties, Faith, once made some potato salad and it was rockin’. I asked her what she did and she said she boiled the potatoes with chicken bouillon cubes. What a great idea. Soooo, I stole her idea and made some tater salad of my own.
I will tell you this is pretty garlic-y, so if you do not like garlic, you might want to reduce the amount of garlic. I love it just the way it is. Also, you can make this a few days ahead of time, all of the flavors make happy food love and glorious things happen.

Notes
You can decrease the amount of garlic if you are not a big garlic fan.
This can be made several days in advance.

I’ve never tried th chicken bullion, will give that a shot. While I do like garlic I think I’d halve the amount and grate it in on a microplane. I’d also add one onion grated on a box grater and four stalks of celery finely diced. That for me would be the World’s best. Can’t wait to give it a shot this weekend!
I am currently on the search for a good potato salad recipe..so I will definitely give this a shot. Annnddd…too much garlic is only bad for the hubby
interesting recipe, I might need to make this one for the weekend.

I cannot believe it’s Memorial Day already! Better start Christmas shopping. . . I’m sure adding the bouillon gives this a nice flavor boost. Sounds good! Thanks.
This is a must for Memorial Day or any day! It looks so creamy and delicious!
Love this. How did you see I was posting it too??
Saw it through Google Analytics.
You had me at garlic-y! This looks so delicious–props to your friend for thinking to boil the potatoes in chicken bouillons…thanks so much for sharing, I can’t wait to try this out!
Simple little tips like the bullion cubes make blog reading so worthwhile, don’t you think? Glad I stopped by tonight to snag that nugget of info.
i have two potato salad posts in my queue, but the photos are so horrible, they continue to get pushed back.
nice recipe (and photo)!
made this for the holiday weekend! It was fantastic!
Ohhhh good Sarah! I am so very glad you enjoyed it!!!
Just saw this recipe; can’t wait to make it.
I love your recipes and l-uh-uhve the chicken bouillon idea! Wondering about maybe chopping up some dill pickle and adding that in for a tiny bit of crunch and tang? Definitely going to try this one out!
Thanks for your comment on my potato salad.
I bet chopped up dill pickles would make a fabulous addition!!!
