"I can't remember where I came across this recipe but it is so delicious. I was looking for a different potato salad because I don't like traditional and this is perfect. Great for a bar-b-q or 4th of July. I made it for a family get together and it was gone faster than anything else!"

This was easy and delicious! I did modify just a bit, substituting 1/2 cup of ranch dressing for some of the sour cream. I also loved the idea of baking the potatoes, it freed up oven space while I was making the rest of the meal. Thanks!
