Margie's Potato Salad (With Italian Dressing)
"This is my mom's potato salad recipe, which I just love. I haven't seen one here exactly like it. It uses italian dressing to give it flavor, and doesn't have pickles or mustard. The key to an excellent final product is letting the Italian dressing sit for a couple of hours and soak up the flavors before adding the mayo. My favorite dressing to use is the kind you make yourself from a package, adding oil, water and vinegar - just be sure you've made it up ahead of time so it is full of flavor by the time you need it. Cooking time is marinating time."

I used to make this recipe 40 years ago but lost the recipe. Thank you! Everyone loves it, including me. It’s the only recipe I will use. ?? -
I'm always looking for salad recipes that don't include mayo because of my husbands aversion to it. So I made this one without the mayo and it was good! I wasn't sure about the egg, but I'm glad I included it. Good summer salad!

<p>I'm currently a stay at home mom to two boys (7 and 5). Most of the time I feel like this is more challenging than my old job as an IT analyst! My husband is super, and is supportive of anything I do - currently addicted to zaar! We've been married 9 years, both our second time around). <br /> <br />I love scrapbooking, cloth diapering, organizing, getting things for really good deals, and spending time with my family. We're in the process of going green and having lots of fun doing it. I have an Etsy store: www.winkydinks.etsy.com<br /> <br />My rating system: <br />5 stars - outstanding. Save this one for company or make it very often for ourselves. <br />4 stars - very good. Something we would definitely make again (and again). <br />3 stars - was good. Tastes may not have suited us but was a good recipe. May or may not try it again. <br />2 stars - was ok. Probably would not make again. <br />1 star - didn't turn out, would not make again. <br /> <br /><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/pt-shutterbug-banner-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Recipezaar%20Album/iplaytagin.jpg alt= /></p>
