My family was tired of the same old potato salad at family functions, so I created this with the ingredients I had on hand. Now I'm always asked to bring it to get-togethers. —Tami Gallagher, Eagan, Minnesota

Very Delicious! We think it tastes better after sitting for awhile in the fridge...either a few hours or overnight.

The flavors of this potato salad really mellow if left in the fridge overnight--otherwise I find the mustard and ranch a little strong and unblended. Otherwise, fabulous.

This is one of the best potato salad recipes I have ever tried. The only thing I didn't like was the intense mustard taste so I halved the amount. It also makes a lot of dressing the way it is written so I also added some more potatoes to compensate. I have gotten rave reviews every time I have made it.

I surely will be making this again. With plenty of herbs in my garden I substituted the onions for fresh chives. I refrigerated the potatoes after boiling to cool. When I put the salad together I combined all the ingredients except the potatoes. While the potatoes were still cold from the fridge I cut them and folded them into the bowl. I served it immediately and it was a huge hit. It still tasted great the next day however I thought it was better served immediately. It is very pretty as well.
