Thank you for your question! This particular potato salad recipe does not contain onions. However, if you like onions, go ahead and add them! That is the great thing about cooking, you can always make it your own! Enjoy!

If you don't like a mushy potato salad, leaving the skin on is better, and undercook the potatoes for a couple minutes less in water.

I microwave the potatoes instead of boiling them, keeps them from getting mushy. Skins on or off is up to individual tastes.

After reading all these potato salad recipes and scratching my head in total confusion, why in the world would anyone spend so much money on this 'stuff'? A good/delish potato salad should include: potatoes, chopped celery, onions, sweet relish, pickles, eggs, Mayo or Miracle Whip, Bacon crumbled, Mustard. Now, add or delete the ingredients YOU like, stir well, cover w/ plastic wrap and place in fridge till ready to serve. I forgot the salt & pepper and that is added to 'YOUR' taste. If the salad is too thick, add a little pickle juice till the consistancy 'YOU' like. In other words, food prep in YOUR kitchen should be to YOUR liking/taste buds. Don't waste $$$ on ingredients you don't like or will never use again. Tater Salad is easy too make---simply add the ingredients you enjoy eating.
