Cold Potato Salad

Submitted by Carrie in Indiana

"This is the second recipe that I adopted from the "'Zaar". This is your basic potato salad recipe and tastes like many you've had in your past. However, I will take the comments into consideration and perhaps tweek this recipe a bit! Cook time does not include marinating time."

This reminder me of what my Mother used to make. I didn't have the celery, so I left it out. This was so good. I will be making this again. Thanks for the recipe.

This recipe didn't have much flavor. I added a little more mustard and some chopped celery and pickles.

Very nice, light salad. Potatoes being one of my favourite vegetables, this made a really nice diet-y dinner. The potato water really adds flavour to the salad, blending really well with the onions. You can also add a dash of nonfat yogurt, a sprinking of pepper and garnish with chopped corriander leaves. Adds a nice tang to the salad...
