This potato salad is easy to make and always a hit with my family. I like to add a little bit of chopped bacon to it for extra flavor.

This potato salad is a bit too mayonnaise-y for my taste. I would recommend using less mayonnaise or adding some sour cream to lighten it up.

This potato salad is a great make-ahead dish. I usually make it the night before a party or picnic so that the flavors have time to meld.
