Absolutely delicious, creamy, yum! I had a few girl friends over for luncheon and the salad was highly praised and I had to share the recipe. Thanks for this great keeper!

This was a winner in our house. My husband, who is not even a fan of potato salads, could not stop adding extra helpings to his plate! I had a very good and tangy mayo, so thick that I added some cream to thin it slightly, and I also added maybe a squirt more lemon juice. I was lucky to have very juicy shirmps. I did have to halve the recipe, which was easy -- it is a large recipe. I would not change a thing -- the ingredients worked perfectly together. (We had it with spicy baked chicken wings and a bowl of small plum tomatoes, plus sauvignon blanc -- perfect meal!) Thanks, Gailanng, for a keeper!!

Wonderful salad. I halved the recipe, since there are only 2 of us and I didn't want to be eating potato salad for a week. LoL! I added the optional dill pickle and next time I'll try the sweet pickle. I also added just a bit more lemon. Personal preference. Made for Every Day Holiday Tag. :)

Well what can I say, I served this with with cold chicken and other salads for dinner, and everyone really loved this potato salad! The only change I made was to add some seeded honey mustard, and I didnt peel the potatoes... only through sheer laziness, lol but everything else was as per recipe. DS had this packed into his lunchbox for work the next day, before dinner had even ended! He drove off to work this morning, stopped his car and walked back from the front gate, because he had forgotten his lunch. First time I have ever seen this happen, believe me.....he wouldn't walk back unless it was good! Thanks gailanng for another wonderful keeper for this family.
