I need your best potato salad recipes please

my mum is turning 50 soon and I am throwing her a birthday party we are having a BBQ with salads baked potatoes and desserts.
I am making a pasta salad, coleslaw, tossed salad and potato salad. I usually just boil my potatoes in cubes until cooked but not soft when they cool I add some mayo and fresh mint and I am happy with that and could eat bowls and bowls of it but I thought I might see what others do and give them a trial go and see if I like them better.
I particulary like ones with egg in it but any will do.

If you have any other salad ideas I am happy to hear them too.
TIA
xoxoxo

I make mine pretty much the same way as you but I usually chop some hard boiled eggs up and stir them in and also chives and dill.
I put some seedy mustard in when I made my mayo last week for extra yumminess.
I like to chop some smoked salmon really finely and put it on the top of the salad - it makes it look nice as well as adding yumminess.
I usually keep a bit of chives and dill back for garnish

I'm no foodie and I'm sure other will be in here with potentially better (and more precise) recipies, but I think I make a pretty good potato salad.

Boil cubed potatoes 'till almost soft
Toast pine-nuts on a fry pan - sometimes I also toast garlic cloves and crush them in too
Hard boil some eggs, peel and cut in quarters
Mix in with chopped parsley, a can of sweet corn, salt and pepper and plenty of good quality mayo (I LOVE the one made with free-range eggs you can get from Safeway - can't remember what it's called but it's got a bit of mustard through it and it's great)

Happy Birthday to your Mum!
