  1. Oh yum! My family really loved this! We served this along side some grilled morrocan chicken with lime (on kabobs) some grilled pineapple and baked beans. oh we had such a wonderful dinner! this potato salad is fabulous. My sister is begging me to send her the recipe, as she said it sounds delicious :-) I will let you know what she thinks! Thanks for the recipe!! I will make this again the next time I want potato salad! I did one thing different. I had to saute my onions a bit as I cannot eat raw onions. I just sauted them lightly and refrigerated them until they were very cold, and added them to the salad when told to. Other than that I did everything as suggested. I used light mayo with no problems. Wonderful flavors!
     
  2. I do not like traditional potato salad but this was fantastic! I could not find the Lipton soup so I used a different herb garlic mix. I also added more garlic because, you can never have enough! I don't like raw onions so I saut?ed mine with an extra clove of garlic, very tasty. I did let this sit overnight and didn't taste test prior to placing this in the fridge. <br/><br/>Highly recommend this to anyone who loves garlic potato salad tapas! Yum! Made a huge bowl and it was gone by the end of dinner!
     
  3. If I could rate this a 10, I would! My picky boyfriend will almost never try anything new, which irritataes me no end, BUT HE LOVED THIS:) I did exactly, but added one hard boiled egg. It was so great yesterday, that he ate 2/3 of it, and begged me to make it again ASAP, and the hot potatoes are sitting in front of me, almost ready to be cut up:)<br/>Thanks soo much!
     
  4. Wow, I made this for my daughter's teenager birthday party, and everyone loved it. My son has devoured all that was left over and compliments all over the place. About to go make it again!<br/>Thanks
     
  5. My husband who does not ever eat potato salad even had some of this. It was a nice change from the usual potato salad. I don't know if I'll make it again though. I prefer regular potato salad.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
