Kittencal's Potato Salad With Eggs

I like to call this a great starter recipe as you can add in other things such as bacon or cooked ham, even chopped gherkin pickles, chopped parsley, the choice is yours! --- for best flavor use mayonnaise and salad dressing ---there is 4 hours chilling time all together for this recipe, so plan ahead. --- you will also find a slightly different version of my recipe here http://kittencalskitchen.com/2009/04/05/kittens-potato-salad-with-eggs-and-ham/
