This is my favorite potato salad that I only get to enjoy once in a blue moon, too, because my hubby doesn't care for bleu cheese. Oh, well, more for me! ;) This makes a small amount, about 4 small servings, so feel free to double this if you'd like. But this is how I like to make it just for me. :) Ingredients can be adjusted to your own personal taste. Photo by me.
