Potato salad is my absolute favorite side dish. My grandma makes, by far, the best in the whole entire world. No, I’m not biased. That is a fact.
Kidding. I’m totally biased.
I love the recipe in its full glory on occasion, but this recipe is lightened up. I prefer to keep recipes on hand where I can indulge in more than 1/4 cup serving at a time, and not feel guilty. Potato salad is delicious but DANG… it is high in calories.
This recipe can also, very easily, be made vegan! So simple.
