I also suggest that you try out various recipes when it comes to potato salad, because you can add and remove ingredients to make a potato salad healthier. In fact you can vary the amount of eggs used to add more protein or you can add meat protein in the form of bacon, or sausage. One such recipe for potato salad with Andouille Sausage and bacon is listed here http://southernfood.about.com/od/potatosalads/r/r90626c.htm and it has Creole seasoning.
Another good recipe which can be served warm is this German potato salad which has slices of bacon and white wine vinegar http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/German-Potato-Salad/Detail.aspx. An important point to note is that this salad does not include mayonnaise.
