Recipe Substitutions:

  • Add green onions, red onion or chives.
  • Yukon gold potatoes, peeled russet potatoes or white potatoes work too.
  • Yellow mustard or brown mustard may be used instead of dijon.
  • Create a creamy texture by substituting mayonnaise or sour cream for olive oil.
  • Add lemon juice, black pepper, fresh herbs or kosher salt to taste.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Red potatoes make the best potatoes for this easy recipe but any thin skin new potatoes will work.
  • Store potato salad in an airtight container or covered in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • This can be served with warm potatoes and kept at room temperature for an hour or so.
  • Not a fan of dijon? Try a mixture of brown mustard, celery seed and white wine vinegar instead.

Tips for camping meal preparation:

  • Prepare meals in advance at home whenever possible.  Leave most of the mess at home where running water is more accessible and clean up is easier.  Trust me on this one!
  • Create “one pot” family style meals for quick dinners that don’t require a lot of thought. 
  • Use tinfoil packets, foil pie pans or pie irons. These tools help to make clean up a breeze!
  • Pack ingredients in 1 gallon size ziploc bags for flexible storage in small fridges and coolers.
  • Plan meals that use similar ingredients to help make packing and planning easy.  These Cheesy Vegetable Campfire Dip, Loaded Campfire Potatoes and Tinfoil Packet Taco Salad recipes are some of my favorites.

  1. I learned to make this from my Gramma, in 1950! It was called German Potato Salad. I still make it, occasionally, in a smaller quantity, to this day!

    1. I love that! I’ll have to look up german potato salad in my old cook books!
