Italian Potato Salad

Creamy and Crunchy This delicious Italian Potato Salad can be served as a great side dish or for parties, picnics or barbecues. This dish is full of vegetables and flavor.

I love using small red potatoes for this recipe or new white potatoes. These two types of potatoes are ideal for potato salad. They are high in sugar content but low in starch.

Once the potatoes are cooked this Italian Potato Salad is easy to assemble. For best results refrigerate the salad overnight to give all the ingredients a chance to blend together.
