I Guess I'll Add My Favorite Potato Salad...

Submitted by HEP MEP

"This was in a church cookbook I received as a gift many moons ago. Don't have the book anymore, but I saved the recipe.It's the only potato salad I've ever made, and I never felt the need to look further.It's always gone when I make it for a Bar-B-Q. Prep time includes boiling the potatoes,and chopping veggies.The big secret is to make sure you don't over-boil the potatoes,or you're going to have mush."

This was a huge hit at the BBQ I was at on Saturday. The cucumbers really add something extra to the dish. There were no leftovers so I can't speak to the cucumbers breaking down and becoming watery. I'd definitely make this again.

I was thrilled to make this for MEP'S Cookathon. I LOVED this. The "dressing" was what really caught my attention, I was so tired of my plain 'ol potato salad. This was really great.

This was a very tasty potato salad. I do think I won't use cucumbers again though. Great refreshing taste if used up first time. If you have leftovers it gets very watery because the cukes break down. This potato salad has an awesome flavor! Thanks Mepster
