I found this recipe to be too tart. And it doesn't have a pleasant aroma because of the scallions and vinegar.(I used all fresh ingredients - it is the combination) There are aspects to this flavor profile that are nice, but this recipe calls for some adjustment. I will make it again, but with adjustments.

Perhaps I was really wanting a traditional potato salad when I opted to make this, but I wasn't thrilled. I used all sour cream and added in finely diced zucchini in addition to the scallion and parsley. Anyway, I'm slowly making my way through it (made a half recipe since I'm the only potato eater in the house). It is a definite change of pace and nice enough. Next time I'll probe my own cravings a bit better before I commit! LOL
