Enjoyable potato salad with great added color from the carrots. I left out the red onion, but added a couple of chopped sweet pickles along with some pickle juice. I needed to use more mayonnaise than called for to get all the ingredients sufficiently coated. Topped with paprika instead of cayenne.

Different and delicious! I added 1 t. mustard to the dressing ('cause we like it). Found the salad a bit dry, so sprinkled with white wine vinegar to make the dressing a bit more liquid. Beautiful colors, too.

I made this and took it to a church potluck where it was enjoyed by many. Thank you Derf and hope you are mending nicely!

This potato salad is fantastic... love the crunchiness & the addded flavor of the Parmesan. I did take a previous reviewer's suggestion and added some low-fat sour cream to the dressing for a "snap"... This is guest-worthy for a BBQ. Made for Derf's Cook-a-Thon.

Excellent dish for a hot summer day. I added chopped celery too and also mixed in a dallop of sour cream for the dressing. Enjoyed it for supper and I will enjoy it again tomorrow, leftovers! Thanks, Derf!!
