Great salad!!, Member SHodding

This is by far the best potato salad I've ever had. I've made it for family gatherings and parties, and everyone has absolutely loved it! I've added in red pepper and celery before, but I think it's great with just the red onion. I like it a little creamier than the recipe calls for, so I add in a bit of extra mayo to make it nice and creamy.
