I make mine plain and simple:
Russet Potatoes
Eggs
Dill Relish
Onions
Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder
Mayo
Dash of Mustard
Then I let it chill in the fridge for several hours. It always tastes the best when its cold and all the flavors have blended together.

In addition to my no egg policy; I like my potato salad cold, wife likes hers warm. She likes hers about 50% potato and 50% egg.
I do 99.999% of the cooking so when I make potato salad I leave her share of the potatoes to soak in water and tell her she can do whatever she wants with them. We don't really eat a lot of potato salad here. : )
My mom and I put an herb called lovage in our potato salad. Lovage is a relative of Celery and you use the leaves. It has a very crisp and refreshing flavor! It's also a very pretty plant for the garden. Ours always grow HUGE!
I chop the apples to about pea size and add them in with the mayo.. taters... egg.. celery...i use the red onions my mom uses green to each their own... sprinkle of dill weed, if i want added colour i will shred carrot in there too..
