Chunky Potato Salad
"My potato salad is often requested because it's chunky and not "mashed" potato salad. It is also downright yummy! The secret is to mix together the dressing part before adding it to the cut ingredients."

I served this for friends at a backyard BBQ and they loved it! Mixing the "wet" ingredients together before mixing with the potatoes really made a difference. Will definitely make this again! -
Dropped by to say that mashed potato salad is just plain silly.
