Southern potato salad is an easy side dish thats always a huge hit!

Summer wouldn't be the same without a serving or two of my potato salad. Creamy and tangy and loaded with olives and hard boiled eggs. With lots of crunchy texture from the onions and celery.

This potato salad really is delicious and I have to restrain myself from eating the whole bowl. This salad will go perfectly with all your BBQ favorites.

Tips for making this Southern potato salad

Dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes,
Add cubed potatoes to a pot of cold water bring to a boil and add salt, cook until soft.
Drain and gently break up the potatoes. I like my potato salad to have that rustic texture creamy with small chunks of potatoes. But if you like it chunkier then don't break the potatoes up.
Add in all the ingredients except the boiled eggs while the potatoes are still slightly warm and mix until combined.
Gently fold in the diced eggs, sprinkle with paprika, and more chopped dill if desired.
