Classic Potato Salad For Your Summer Side Dish
Potato Salad is a staple side dish to serve during the summer. It goes well alongside any grilled entry. Make it a day ahead and it will be filling and refreshing the next day. Some people have their regional recipes where they add sweet relish and some add chopped onions. My husband and I prefer not to have those two ingredients in our potato salad. This recipe is actually my mother-in-law’s and we love it this way. TIP: a little bit of spicy brown mustard elevates the flavors. Try it.
