Our potato salad recipe airs on the classic, more traditional side, but we do have a couple of tweaks. (If you are looking for a non-creamy dressing, take a look at our green bean and potato salad with feta and olives or this herby, mayo-free version.) There's no creamy dressing on a vinegar-based potato salad like Dill Potato Salad. This type of salad is quite different from the one with a creamy base, but it is also served cold. Then, there's Hot German Potato Salad which is also vinegar-based but served warm and has a bacon-flavored dressing. You can cook Creamy Potato Apple Salad using 9 ingredients and 3 steps.
