Nice potato salad. It was easy to make and loved the taste. I did add a stalk of celery since I had one that I needed to use up. Thanks for sharing. Made for Best of 2014 tag.

Great flavors in this potato salad. Loved the green onions. This went great with our pulled pork sandwiches for dinner. Made for PAC Spring 2014.
