We're seriously excited about this neat way to "pump up" your potato salad recipe. Add some celery, peppers, dill, and the secret ingredient: tuna! Mix it all together and our "Pumped Up" Potato Salad is a totally new take on old-fashioned potato salad.
What You'll Need
- 6 large white potatoes
- 2 (6 ounce each) cans tuna in water, drained and flaked
- 1 cup chopped celery (2 stalks)
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped scallions (1 to 2 scallions)
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
What to Do
-
Place potatoes in a large pot and add just enough water to completely cover them. Bring to a boil and cook 35 to 40 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender; drain and cool.
-
Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks; place chunks in a large bowl and add remaining ingredients. Mix until potatoes are completely coated.
- Cover and chill at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
If you want, you can even cook the potatoes a day before making the salad this will cut down on the time needed to chill the salad before serving.

I omitted the vinegar and added more scallions. I added chopped cooked eggs and 1 Tablespoonful of dijon mustard to the mayonnaise. It was great!
