Red Hot & Blue Potato Salad Recipe
My husband worked at Red Hot & Blue back in the day and has always raved about their red skin potato salad. I’ve never eaten at the restaurant. Based on his years’ worth of comments about missing the potato salad, I knew it must be special.
He especially liked that the potato salad was served warm and mainly mayonnaise-based. Plus, the delicious red skin potatoes made it even better.
We started with heart’s content farmhouse’s recipe and slowly tweaked it into exactly what he remembers the potato salad tasting like.

How to Make Red Hot & Blue Potato Salad Recipe
This recipe is really easy to make. The hardest part is waiting for the egg & potatoes to boil & cool to room temperature. To save time, feel free to toss the egg in the same pot with the potatoes to boil together. Just pull the egg out at your desired time for hard boiled eggs (around 9-11 minutes).
You’ll boil the egg & red potatoes to start. While they are boiling, mix the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
When the potatoes have finished boiling, you should be able to stick a fork through the potatoes, but you don’t want them to be mushy. Drain the potatoes and let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to cool off enough for cutting.
While you wait for the potatoes to cool, place the egg in cold water for 5 minutes for easier peeling. Peel and dice the egg & then cut the potatoes. You’ll cut the potatoes into quarters long-ways. Add the diced egg and quartered potatoes into the mixing bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Top with your favorite garnish and you’re ready to enjoy!
*Notes: For the best results, I use 1/3 cup of mayonnaise + 2 tablespoons of my vanilla yogurt for a mild sweetness & creaminess. You can choose to just use all mayonnaise if you prefer.
