  I don't like mayonnaise, so I'm with you on the cole slaw and potato salad opinions and I don't see a problem with having some other kind of potato instead of potato salad.  However, if your FI loves potato salad and wants to have it, I would have it.  It's his wedding, too.  I don't think it would be too much to have potato salad and a non-icky potato dish.

  I love patatoe salad. My moms that is. My family is very particular about patatoe salad. Because there are 99 different ways to make it, people usually have 2 maybe 3 people who they will eat patatoe salad from.  So if your guests are like my family they might not even eat it. 

  
  

  But with that said, if your FI wants it have a small dish for him everyone else gets slaw...

  I would touch potato salad or cole slaw with a 10foot pole so I'm with you. But as PP mentioned if your FI really wants it let him have it, and then just have another option that you like as well.

  I definitely wouldn't serve something to certain people without having it available for everyone.
  
  OP, if he really wants it, you don't have to eat it. I think you could have 2 kinds of potato salad or slaw and roasted potatoes.

  I think it'd be fun to have baked potatoes with bowls of toppings to dress them with.

  ooo I love the mighty potato! I am originally from Central New York and we have a regional dish called salt potatoes that would go really well with your menu. Pretty much it is just small new potatoes boiled in very salty water (almost like a brine) - the skin gets a little crispy from the salt and the inside is so soft and falls apart. yummmmm! It's the kind of dish that we have at every summer cookout and at chicken bbq's in the area.
