Herby Potato Salad
Mixing the ingredients together while the potatoes are still warm allows for maximum flavor absorption. This recipe has become one of my regulars and continues to impress each time I make it. Can’t finish it all in one sitting? No need to worry. These potatoes taste just as good right out of the refrigerator the next day. Enjoy!
