My grandma makes the best potato salad, but she doesn't use a recipe! So I watched while she put together "a little of this and a little of that" and jotted a recipe that comes close. The creamy dressing also works well for making deviled eggs.

I doubled the recipe on this one and used a dozen eggs. It was one of the most delicious potato salads I have ever eaten!

Such a different taste on potato salad. My mother has made this since it was first published in Taste of Home Magazine several years ago. She receives excellent raves and reviews everytime she makes it. My husband prefers to eat it as soon as it's ready and still warm. It is delicious!
