This is a classic potato salad when I think of potato salad. It's easy to make and quite tasty. Perfect for bringing over for a picnic.

I used to make the mayonnaise myself when I was living in China because we didn't have those vegan products yet. It takes some work, but it’s fresher and ultimately better for you, as you don’t need to put in any preservatives to prolong its shelf life. Of course the down side of it is that it doesn't last forever, you have to eat them up fairly quickly, I guess, maybe in 2-3 weeks or so. I also found the consistency isn't always stable, you might need to stir or shake a bit each time you use it. I wonder if adding a bit cooked corn starch helps with that, but since we have vegan mayonnaise in Sweden, I just never bothered to experiment, lol. Should you ever try to make vegan mayonnaise yourself, please let me know if you work out something better.
