Evelyn.. fantastic! So easy, I chopped up all the ingredients while I cooked the potatoes. The sour cream added so much, as did the paprika. I added all of the onion at the early stage (oop) but it was fabulous. I agree on the servings if you are serving with another salad, but as a stand alone side it served 6 adults and one child with quite a lot of leftovers.

MMMMM...This is fantastic! The sour cream dressing was what initially attracted me to this recipe and I have to say that it made for an excellent dressing for potato salad. The mixture of veggies in this worked very well together and I will be making this one again. Very satisfying. Note: I was able to get more like 10-12 servings out of this.

Delish. This is pretty much the way I make potato salad too and it's always a hit. Thanks for sharing, Ev.

My family loved this potato salad. It was very flavorful and we loved how well the flavor went together. This is a new and different way to make potato salad, to add to family picnics or dinners. Thank You. Made for ZWT9 ~ Family Picks ~ The Apron String Travelers.

Nice potato salad, Ev! DH hates p.salad with crunchy things, but he liked this one! Ingredients mentioned celery; directions did not; so I did not add any celery. Only had a red pepper, no green, oh well! I'm glad I let the potatoes soak up the vinegar & oil marinade for a couple hours - they were very flavorful! made for ZWT9 Soup-a-Stars
