Potato Salad Bites

Submitted by Sarah_Jayne

"I am on vacation at my parent's place in the States and I am raiding my mother's recipe book collection. This is one of the ones I wanted to put on here so that I can access it when I am back in the UK. These look interesting for parties and picnics. A bit like a deviled egg but with potatoes, I think. I found them in Taste of Home's 'Church Supper' recipe cards. This was submitted by Stephanie Sheridan from Plainfield, Vermont. Cooking time includes chill time."

Made for Holiday Tag. These are tasty lil morsels.We are BIG potato salad lovers so it was hard to go wrong with this tag.I added some finely chopped hard-boiled eggs to the mix but omitted the olives...I would have loved it but not my guys.I think this would make a nice addition to a potluck or buffet table.
