Notes

  • To store: will keep covered in fridge for up to 5 days
  • If you like your potato salad to have a sweeter note than add up to a tablespoon of green relish to the dressing
  • Peeling the potatoes is optional of course. I prefer my salad without the peel.
  • Calories in Nutritional chart below calculated without liquid smoke and black salt.
