THE SECRET to the fine taste of this salad results from adding the warm potatoes to the mayonnaise mixture. My Grandma Nellie may have created the recipe herself or brought it with her from Ireland. I recall friends and family often preferred a second helping of potato salad instead of dessert! —Mary Elizabeth Martucci South Bend, Indiana

One of the best potato salads I have had. I added aprox. 1/8 tsp. of garlic powder because we love garlic. Will use this as my summer staple recipe.

I cannot believe the fat content of this recipe--it seems way too high compared to similar, and sometimes richer recipes. It must be a misprint; but simply substitute a healthier version of mayonnaise if it's a concern.
