These 15 Potato Salads Will Make You The Envy Of Any Backyard BBQ
Your summer cookouts will thank you.

Listen, I'm not trying to offend any hot dog or burger aficionados, but I think it needs to be said: side dishes are what really separates an okay BBQ from a great BBQ. And what’s a more classic BBQ side than potato salad? While a simple potato salad can be wonderful—and truly, our tried and true version is the best—there’s so many more flavor options to choose from. Check out these 15 potato salad recipes to see what we mean. They’re guaranteed winners, whether you bring them to a potluck, place them on a holiday spread, or serve them alongside your casual summer weeknight dinners.
Want something chock full of all the best ingredients, like bacon, hard-boiled eggs, jalapeños, ranch dressing…? Our Southern potato salad, our bacon-ranch potato salad, our hot German potato salad, and our buffalo chicken potato salad are for you. The best part? Because they do have a little bit more going on than your average side dish, they also make for great packed lunches too.
Looking for something a little lighter? Potato salad can do it all! Try our French potato salad, our antipasto potato salad, or our Greek chicken potato salad to see many of the ways you can make it SO tasty, even without tons and tons of mayonnaise. Feel free to take inspiration from these and get creative with your mix-ins too.
