I've never had a potato salad exactly like my mom's. The potatoes are shredded instead of diced or cubed and the dressing is sweet and tangy instead of savory. Our summer family gatherings ALWAYS include her potato salad and we all love it! I recommend tasting the dressing before adding it to the potatoes - my mom never measures the ingredients but these measurements are as close as I could get!
