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.

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

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
