I LOVE doing roundups. My blogger friends are always willing to share some of their best creations. The hard part is choosing only a few to include each time.

With bbq season here, backyard parties, get-togethers, and picnics will be happening all summer long. You can NEVER have too many salad recipes to choose from. If you love potato salad you are going to LOVE this post. Some of the best potato salad recipes I have seen are included in this collection. 

So many delicious variations, it will take me all summer to eat my way through these homemade potato salads (but I will)!!

Let’s get your tastebuds watering. Which of the 27 potato salads you will want to try first?

FYI, I just know you are going to LOVE this recipe roundup as much as I do. Be sure to check out the other recipe collections at the bottom of this post.

My youngest daughter always requests a potato salad for her birthday. My oldest daughter always requests macaroni salad. When I was a child, we ALWAYS had a family bbq in the summer. One of the favourite sides was something we called potatoes with green onion and dill. Still, to this day I make it for my family.

Since we love this so much, I wanted to turn it into a warm potato salad option, that could be a dinner salad. Warm Potato Salad with Dill & Smoked Salmon is a remake of our family recipe.

We do love potatoes in our house. Crispy Cast Iron Potatoes make a GREAT presentation for entertaining. If you are looking for a great appetizer using potatoes, Smoked Salmon Potato Appetizers are a party favourite. 

Now that we are finally getting some decent weather, and bbq parties will be happening VERY SOON, I am on the lookout for salad recipes. They are key to summer entertaining. 

I like LOTS of variety. You can never have too many salad recipes. Since potato salad is always a crowd pleaser, I wanted to add some variety to my recipe collection. WOW did I find some GREAT potato salad recipes. No boring salads in this roundup!!
