This recipe began with leftover fried potatoes I had on hand. We liked it so much that now I fry potatoes just to make this unique potato salad. Sometimes I add grated sharp cheddar for a cheesy twist. —Leann Stallard, Dryden, Virginia

Test Kitchen tips
  • Applewood seasoning adds sweetness, spicy heat and a little smokiness to this fun version of potato salad.
