I was raised on mayonnaise based potato salad. The other year my mom (yes the noncook!) found this recipe and tried it. I admit I was very skeptical but this was the bomb! I loved this potato salad. Now if it is not prepared several times during the summer, complaints are voiced!
This potato salad is great warm or a day or two later after the flavors have blended.
Oh, and by the way, mayonniase based potato salads are so yesterday in my family now.
