No worries. I assumed that everyone knows Hellmanns is from Best.
For potato salad, as long as you don't use Duke's or Miracle Whip, you're good. Both of those are super sweet and really throw off the flavor of the potato salad.

Here is their potato salad recipe:
2 pounds Potatoes (5 to 6 medium, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch chunks)
1 cup Hellmann's Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper (ground)
1 cup Celery (thinly sliced)
½ cup Onion (chopped)
2 Hard-Cooked Eggs (chopped, optional)
You know that Hellmann's isn't sold west of the Rocky Mountains, right? I mean, if you are Air B&B'ing in California and offer to make the potato salad, either bring Hellmann's with you or know it will not be found there under that name.
I think the equivalent is Best Foods.
Yes I know that; however it doesn't matter. We're here in DC (the site is DCUM) so we have Hellmann's here.
While I take your point, if I'm at an Airbnb in California, and for some insane reason I have to make potato salad, then I'm buying the potato salad.

OP here.
My family definitely wants the mayo-based version and as we’re in the Midwest and not Washington state, I’ll use Hellmans. Thanks, PP. I will have to make it once myself, then travel to Carolina Brothers to compare.

When carrots are added, it is no longer potato salad- it is a salad with potatoes, celery and carrots dressed with vinaigrette.
Carrots are a regional thing.

The question should be who makes a good potato salad and the answer is the Germans.
