Hot Potato and Broccoli Salad

This is a recipe that I adopted in the Recipezaar restaurant give-away of Feb 2005. UPDATE: Having now made the recipe, I've pretty much left it intact. I myself used fresh basil and increased it to about 1 Tbs. I also left the potatoes unpeeled. I personally leave the salt out, but that's because of doctor's orders and most people probably will like it better as is. The original recipe said 1 bunch broccoli, broken into florets, but the updated Zaar computer program won't accept bunch as a measure, so I've changed how that's shown. I don't believe those changes are likely to affect the flavor much, though, so essentially it's the same recipe I started with. Enjoy!
