Submitted by iris5555

"I have a real weakness for potato salads and especially for those without pickles, relish or sugar. This one, from a recipe newsletter, is a little tangy and quite good, I think."

Another 5* winner! The addition of the brown mustard is awesome! I used scallions instead of red onions and added 3 sliced radishes. It was very colorful with these additions and YUMMY! Next time I may cut back on the vinegar a bit. Other than that PERFECT! It's a keeper! Australian/New Zealand Cooking > RECIPE SWAP #14 - March 2008
