Patio Potato Salad

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. + chilling YIELD: 8-10 servings.
A sweet and creamy cooked dressing lends old-fashioned goodness to this side dish that goes well with any entree. Since the flavors need time to blend, this is a nice make-ahead salad for family barbecues, potlucks and picnice. -Romaine Wetzel, Ronks, Pennsylvnia
