There are many variables. The choice of potato is important - I favour red skinned nuggets, but other types also have their advocates. The liquid additives have a huge effect on the final product - is it Alsatian style with vinegar in a star role, or is it a mayo based mix? I almost always add fresh lemon juice for the brightness it brings.
The herbal additions add a wide spectrum of flavours. Rosemary, tarragon, basil, thyme......
I am posting to ask if anyone has a recipe that they give a clear first place to - a recipe that we would be fortunate to be allowed to share. Any prize winners here? Any secret ingredients? Any favourite herb combinations?

I am so thrilled to learn that someone else on this planet looks askance at potato salads made by strangers (well, when a creamy element is involved, which i presume you mean though you did not stipulate it).

Carl!
That's like having McDonalds as your sole source of beef!
There is so much more possible!
