I finally made this potato salad yesterday and I'm sorry I waited so long. It is very flavorful and different from any other potato salads I've tried. I used less olive oil, but that's just a personal preference. My recommendation would be to be sure the potatoes are well salted, other than that I wouldn't change anything. Thanks James.
