I really detest making potato salads and have only made a few in my lifetime. This fits the bill exactly for me and is a Godsend.Thanks to the contributor..................like red potatoes with skin left on.

I made thing for my step-son's birthday party Saturday. I doubled it and left out the bacon because he is a vegetarian. The whole bowl was gone. Next time, I might not put in a whole packet of the ranch dressing. Thanks

Wonderful! To me, eggs and potato salad don't mix, and I tried this recipe, because it didn't have hard boilled eggs in it, as so many of them do. Everyone was fighting over this, I think next time I better make 2 batches. I made this recipe to the letter, except added just a little salt and pepper. Thanks for sharing it.
