Perfect Potato Salad Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Potato Salad Recipes. (Perfect Potato Salad Recipe). This is my mother Pauline's recipe. It's pretty much a classic American salad but remember, if you add onions, use sweet onions and chop with a very sharp knife, allow potatoes to cool to room temp before dressing them, and always taste for salt.
