Potato salad will never be as good as when it was first made. Use it within a day or two.

Depending on what you put in your potato salad will depend on how long your salad will last. If you put eggs in your salad then you have 3 days to use it up in. If you omit the eggs then you have about 5 days as long as the salad doesn't sit out and get warm since it has mayonnaise in it.

This food can last up to 4 or 5 days in the refrigerator. A good rule id to date your left overs and do not eat anything over 5 days. If any longer than that place the food in the freezer to store.

It is a myth that mayonnaise makes food spoil - unless it is homemade mayo that was not properly made.

It is the bacteria in the potatoes, eggs, celery, onions, spices, etc. that cause it to spoil. See Related Links.

Potato salad spoils because the mayo will not stay good for so long and it goes bad really easily.

It runs the risk of spoiling if it's kept above 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher for a prolonged period of time. It will keep in the fridge 2 or 3 days, however.
