Amish potato salad is slightly sweeter than regular potato salad. You'll notice below that the recipe actually includes a little bit of sugar in the ingredients list!
Another fun fact about Amish potato salad is that it's likely that it's not actually Amish. Walmart made this sweeter style of potato salad popular, and many of the recipes found on the internet are actually copies of that Walmart version.
