Ok so I've only made potato salad one other time in my lifetime and it was gross....When I saw this I thought I'd give it a try...AND WOW this was good! I omitted the celery and vinega but then added a bit of pickles and it was soooooooo good! So good that I'm making it again tonight!

After I made this recipe, I was not asked for the recipe, but only to make and bring it to every family gathering. It was a huge hit!
