Was looking for something different from my usual potato salad. I am crazy about the dressing--sweetish tangy. The Yukon gold potatoes are soft and creamy. Winner

Delicious potato salad. Nice blend of flavors. I wasn't sure about the turmeric, but the flavor was very subtle and it created a lovely golden color. Thanks for sharing your creation.
