I have been looking for a recipe for Potato Salad without the mayo but still has the eggs in it.....my son-in-law hates any kind of Mayo products and the rest of the family loves potato salad with it....any good recipes out there without the mayo?

I just googled "no mayo potato salad and many sites came up with recipes. I never looked at any one particular with eggs though.

So funny, but I make a dressing called 'Grandma B's' Salad Dressing' for  
potato salad that is a-mazing!!  
 
1c. sugar  
1T. flour  
1t. dry mustard  
pepper and salt as liked  
3 beaten eggs  
3/4c. vinegar  
3/4c. water  
 
 
Whisk all, then cook on medium heat until thick! Stir regularly. Also great in egg salad or toss salad for those who don't like mayo!  
 
This is tangy and fresh and light!  
 
Will keep in fridge for a couple of weeks in a tightly sealed Tupperware or sealer jar!  
 
 
*Another option is using coleslaw dressing, which also has more tang and is less heavy than mayo!  
 
Hope you like this!

With any German potato recipes....I know my mom used to make it with no mayo and I just can't remember the ingredients...I think she used vinegar, water but that is all I remember.

For the recipe...your potato salad sounds really sweet with all that sugar....my son-in-law is a health nut too lol

I like to substitute with greek yogert. Healthy and tangy

What about subbing the mayo for Vegenaise, an egggless mayo?

Think of things that so good with potato. I don't have a recipe but you could use sour cream, green onions, bacon bits, sliced hard boiled eggs, small pieces of diced dill pickle, and even a small amount of the pickle juice.

Is it actually a cup of sugar or is that a misprint?

I have found (and cant seem to find it now) an amazing potato salad in one of my Company's Coming hardcover books. It has pesto, sour cream, bacon, red onion and parm cheese. It is AMAZING!

With 3/4 cups of water and vinegar, it probably is a cup of sugar. I'd put a little in at a time if you're concerned about it being too sweet. Splenda would probably work too?  
 
Op, I mix mayo and coleslaw dressing for my sauce for potato salad, egg salad, salmon salad. If he doesn't like mayo, I'd try substituting with Plain Greek yogurt. In fact, I think I'll try that too

Potatoe salad with ranch or tzusiki would be good too

This is the recipe I have always used. Its actually a mustard sauce excellent on sandwiches, especially ham. I make a double recipe every spring. It never goes bad. Lasts over a year sometimes around here

There is so many people with different food restrictions these days. I would mix everything and separate a portion for him and make the rest as always. Then at least id a different way is not as good the rest of you can still enjoy. This way you also don't ruin the whole salad if it is really bad.

Some of these caught my eye!

Now I'm hungry...

Pesto is amazing in potato salad. My favourite way to make it is with chunks of still-warm roasted potatoes.

I've made both of these and they're really good!

I have a few family members that don't like mayo - we use Ranch dressing as a substitute for potato salad, egg salad, tina salad etc - adds a bit of zing and does the job quick and easy!
