Potatoes may be life, but for many Americans, mayonnaise is…well, let’s just say it’s not for everyone. This means the standby classic, potato salad, typically a combo of the two ingredients, gets tossed aside during summer picnics. Whomp, whomp.
Since we never want to see food go to waste, why not provide a dish, even a potato salad, that everyone will enjoy whether they are pro- or anti-mayonnaise? We’ve rounded up ten mayo-free variations of the classic potato salad that are drowning in flavor and not in sauce. Try them out for yourself and let the tubers do the talking.
Warm German Potato Salad with Bacon

Seeing green is a great thing when it comes to money and fresh herbs. Toss those herbs with potatoes and you’ve got a picnic side dish that will have everyone talking (and needing a toothbrush). Get our Herbed Potato Salad recipe.
Marinated Potato Salad with Fennel
Chowhound
Don’t fear fennel! If eating black licorice sounds more like punishment than pleasure, you may love its less offensive, herbaceous counterpart. And if that flavor is still too potent, roast it in olive oil for some added sweetness. Get our Marinated Potato Salad with Fennel recipe.

Getting rid of the latter means you should absolutely double up on the former. Pairing it with capers, red onions, and herbs also makes too much sense.
