I added a couple tablespoons of parm.

This was so good. It was like a hot potato salad for the winter months! I used regular onions and deli mustard, and it was so delicious. For an easier and faster way to cook the diced potatoes, I put them in a bowl and covered it with plastic wrap, then microwaved it on high for 10 minutes (stirring halfway thru). It keeps more nutrients in the potatoes, I'm sure!

Great recipe!
