An excellent recipe. I added the whole kieabasa, (1 pound) and turned the potato salad into a meal.

I have made this potato salad many times and it has always been a huge success. It is a great alternative to salads with mayonnaise, particularly if it is a warm day. You don't have to worry about it turning quickly.
