Russian Potato Salad image

This Russian potato salad recipe comes from my grandmother, who had written it down in Russian before she translated it for me when I was a teen. We made this every Easter, or for any event where family and friends gathered together. -Gala McGaughey, Berryville, Virginia

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to the dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. It's also very easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. I added some chopped bacon and cheddar cheese to mine and it was delicious!

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld and the salad was even more flavorful.
