I doubt it...
It can, but not for long.
Mayo is better. The salad dressing can dominate the taste.
It is believed that food poisoning from potato salad is caused from the eggs, or the mayonnaise if it contains eggs, and possibly onions.
To start with, you should never be putting mustard or vinegar in potato salad!! Yuck!!
Unless you have a recipe which substitutes the mayonnaise with something much healthier, then no...
Potato salad is a predressed salad. The dressing, usually based on mayonnaise, mustard, or sometimes sour cream contains a liquid component that can separate out. Just stir the liquid back in.
If it is potato salad that is made with mayonnaise, then it spoils when not in the refrigerator and makes people sick. Not a good picnic food if you are out in the sun where it can get hot before eating.
NO! Mayonnaise contains raw egg whites, which will spoil if left as long as overnight. You can leave it out for a max of an hour, but overnight is definitely ruined. If you ate mayonnaise after it is left out and feel queasy, you should consult a doctor. Hope you didn't... :-)
German Potato Salad, actually from southern Germany, is a popular variation which is generally served warm. It is typically more sour in taste and contains pork or bacon. Potato salad from northern Germany, however, is generally based on mayonnaise and quite similar to its US-counterpart.
I would call that about 54 servings.
This depends only on your preferences; for example you can use 6-8 lbs.
