Never As Good as the Original

There are thousands of recipes for potato salad on Pinterest. Some use olive oil instead of mayo or skip the pickles, olives, and eggs. Some are lighter or more gourmet. I usually get a lot of red potatoes so I try to use those. The pictures look amazing and it would be amazing...if you've never had potato salad before. However, as a human who's actually had potato salad I find it pretty disgusting. I need to just stop trying new recipes because it's never as good as the mayo, pickles, olives, and hard boiled eggs combo. Have you had a new potato salad that rivals what you remember from your childhood?
