  Just going to add a secret to boiling potatoes without making them watery. An English method. Boil spuds in water with skins on for 10 minutes. Empty out all the water and put back on heat at low setting covered. The moisture in the spuds will steam them. Steam till tender..about 20 minutes or so. - 8/10/09

  Before making this recipe, I read the comments. So, after making it as noted, I omitted the celery seed because I used celery already. I did add salt, 1/2 cup green peppers, and about 2 tbsp. regular yellow mustard (not ground). It really made a difference and added that "missing" element. - 5/6/08

  If you have a constructive comment, that's great. But why would someone be rude by saying "It sounds boring" or "I could never get my family to try this"...just keep those comments to yourself.
  
  I think this sounds like a great alternative to high fat mayo recipes.
  Thanks for sharing!!! - 9/4/09

  Just to add my 2¢ regarding the negative comments:
  
  Per the posting instructions, you are only supposed to make a comment if you have actually TRIED the recipe. - 4/4/10

  I'm going to add chopped egg to mine along with other crunchy veggies like radishes and green peppers chopped. Also some relish with the yellow mustard. Might as well get as many veggies in as possible. - 6/24/09

  Sometimes I just have to bypass the comments. If you are going to change the recipe, create your own. It is an insult to the poster of the original recipe when you go on blah, blah, blah about what you did to make the recipe "better". - 9/4/09

  This potato salad was so good! I added a few chopped green olives, some paprika and crushed red pepper flakes. I also cut up red potatoes and left the skins on to add a bit more nutritious value. - 7/25/09

  I made this with Tofutti imitation sour cream instead of cottage cheese, left out any milk at all to make it vegan. Otherwise, I followed the recipe and it was awesome! What a relief, its the best recipe I've found for potato salad since I gave up dairy. Thanks. - 7/5/09

  I really liked this. I really dislike fat free mayonnaise and the regular is so high in fat but I love potato salad. This was very yummy. Next time I'll cut up the potatoes before I boil them. It took so long for them to get done whole and were hard to cut up. - 2/26/08

  My friends loved the way I use to make potato salad, but way too much fat in that. I tried this recipe and omitted the vinegar, celery seed, pepper; substituted valdalia onions to green onion, and added turkey bacon to the recipe. It was delicious. My family raved, even with the turkey bacon. - 9/4/09

  I think your measurements values are way off. I only had 2.5 lbs of potatoes & added 1 cup cucumbers along with the other ingredients & measured out 12 - 1/2 cup servings which upped my calorie count to 112 cal/per servings. Liked the cottage cheese, but was still missing something...will make again - 2/28/09

What about green peppers (or other colors too), grape tomatoes on the top as a garnish and then put on your plate, sliced radishes, relish, cucumbers, and a few slices green &/or black olives It's GARDEN SALAD!! - 3/29/08

  Potatoes offer so much nutritional and creative value as long as they're not fried. This recipe is a great base for cold spuds. I'll just tweak it a little to meet my family's taste preferences. Will probably add cilantro instead of parsley and possibly green peas, peppers, radishes, etc. - 1/22/10
