Warmer weather gets me excited for outdoor food like barbecue and wonderful side dishes like homemade potato salad. I don't know exactly how my mother did it but she made the best potato salad ever! I think it had something to do with allowing some of the potatoes to cook a tad bit longer so they would just melt into the dressing. In honor of my dear mother, I created this recipe. It is a little different than most and is a little spicy, I had something very similar at a resort I visited over spring break. This is my latest version of a very tasty homemade potato salad and a fantastic barbecue side dish. I hope that you like and I would love to hear from you.
