Growing up we always ate potato salad as sides at BBQ’s and I always disliked it! I’m not a huge fan of mustard flavor in my potatoes. I know I am weird. But I was determined to like potato salad! So I slowly adapted my potato salad into this! It’s basically like a delicious loaded baked potato! So if you want to try something new and different in your potato salad life! I would suggest this short and sweet recipe for you!
