I have made this many times over the years for large gatherings, everyone loves it and I am always asked for the recipe --- the dressing is wonderful with potatoes or cooked pasta, you may of coarse double the amounts to feed more people --- all ingredients may be adjusted to suit taste, throw in some cooked ham or bacon if desired, plan ahead this salad must chill for at least 3 or more hours before serving, the longer chilling time the better! --- if making the potato salad and prefer a creamier salad then double the dressing amount

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your potato salad. Choose potatoes that are firm and waxy, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart. Cook them just until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Dress the potato salad while it's still warm: This will help the dressing to soak into the potatoes and give them more flavor.
- Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to add other ingredients to your potato salad, such as bacon, cheese, ham, or vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
- Chill the potato salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
Conclusion:

It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can customize it to your own taste.
