Below is my mom's recipe for home-made salad dressing - it's my
favorite for potato salad, and I guess could be called home-made
mayo. It's delicious, but definitely has its own taste:

Salad Dressing

1/4 C. vinegar
3/4 C. water
1 tsp. butter
1 egg
1/4 C. sugar
1 T. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. dry mustard
1/8 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper

Mix together dry ingredients and add to beaten egg. Combine with
vinegar, water, and butter which have been heated. Cook and stir
until thick. Keep refrigerated.
