My mom has made this potato salad recipe ever since I can remember. I took her recipe and "tweaked" it a tad. Everyone loves it. It's always a hit at family gatherings and potlucks. This recipe can be doubled for a large crowd.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Mom's creamy potato salad is a simple potato salad recipe with a little something extra. Chunks of potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and onions are the base. They're tossed with a creamy dressing that contains the secret ingredient - curry. They're just enough to set it apart from other potato salad recipes and add a depth of flavor. This is a great side dish for summer cookouts.
