I followed the recipe, except I used half mayo, half sour cream. I’ve always made my Dad’s potato salad recipe and thought I would try a new recipe… I’m so glad I did… give it a try, oh so good!

Very good. I baked the potatoes whole and then cut them as directed. I forgot to get green onion so I used a good sweet onion in its place. I also had only dried herbs but cant wait to make this when the fresh herbs are ready. I too added extra dill since we LOVE it. DH had me add 2 large hard cooked eggs and said next time he would like a bit more vinegar. The kids requested the left over in their lunch for 2morrow so its a winner for them as well. Thanks for posting.

I loved this too and made it right after I received my Bon Appetit. I did use less mayo and switched the proportions of basil and dill because I love dill. I didn't layer the potatoes and sprinkle the vinegar over, because I didn't read the recipe well but my salad taste good anyway.
