No delay value smoother

Thanks for your assistance, I revised the code as you recommended from what I understood. I don't know if I didn't do something properly and it seems to only give 0's on serial monitor.

const int ledPin = 13;
const int potPin = 7;
int potInterval = 0;
int potDuration = 0;
int fade = 0;
int fadeIncrement = 5;
long preTime = 0;

void setup()
{
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(potPin, INPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  unsigned long time = millis();
  potInterval = analogRead(potPin);    

  if(time - preTime > potInterval)
  {
    preTime = time;

    if(fade <= 0)
    {
      fadeIncrement +=5;
    }
    if(fade >= 255)
    {
      fadeIncrement -=5;
    }

    Serial.println(fade);
  }
  fade = fadeIncrement;
  analogWrite(ledPin, fade);
}
