    Sounds quite different from how I make potato salad, but sounds very good! Will have to try it soon--I think I'll try making about 1/4 the recipe. One question, though? Directions say to slice the potatoes, nothing about peeling. Do you leave the peels on or do you peel them before or after cooking? Thanks!

    Sounds wonderful! I have never tried sugar in potato salad and I have tried it, many, many ways. So this is a must try this weekend.

    This looks really good, Pat! Mom husband loves potato salad. I have sprinkled a little oil and vinegar over the warm potatoes as well as salt and pepper while they are still, but then I add eggs, green onion, green olives, mayo, etc. Never have put sugar in it...guess it would be a combo of German and American potato salad...will cut this recipe down and try it soon!

    Love the vinegar addition here, this almost makes it sound like a German potato salad! 5 forks, thanks!

    Oh Henrie! I could eat potato salad like crazy. We should call it "potato crack!" Marinating the potatoes like this would give them a great texture and a bit of a sweet "tang" too. Lovely stuff here. I might add some celery...--Kn0x--

    My sister use to some time make her potatoe salad similar to this. She always made good potatoe salad. I love this as much as I love dessert. It's really my down fall. Thanks for sharing the recipe, you have my 5.
