NOTES : This is the ultimate
classic potato salad recipe. I've used it for years, having
finally found the perfect combination. All my friends love this so much
I have to double the recipe whenever I have a BBQ. I've added radishes,
red pepper and even olives for a little something different from time to
time, but usually I stick to the basic recipe. Enjoy!
