Potato Salad

Print Friendly and PDF








Potato salad has always been one of my favourites.  This hearty salad is so versatile, you can't go wrong as long as you use certain key ingredients.  Here is the salad I put together for the side dish to tonight's dinner.  This salad received a colour and flavour boost as I happened to have 3 types of potatoes: sweet potatoes, red-skinned and white-skinned potatoes.  Just use what you've got in the fridge!
