I'm going to copy all the recipes for potato salad, because all seem to vary slightly, so should be fun to try them all. Will let you know how I get on.

Maybe this forum might just be more interesting than I thought, if we can keep the trivia threads down.

Thanks guys.

welcome, cat

mine's not really a traditional take on potato salad, but it's nice and light and refreshing

[twinkle toez]

one five pound bag of potatoes(any kind) new potatoes work well
1/2cup celery -diced
i/2 cup vidalia onoin (or what you have)- diced
!/2 cup sliced egg
1/2 cup pepper's-diced(green and red)
mayonnaise-and italien salad dressing
par boil the potatoe's till they are a almost cooked through
peel and cube(when cool)
mix all the ingredients except the oil and mayo
then combine the mayo and dressing I use a cup of mayo and 1/2 cup salad
dressing.
pour on an mix add some parsley on top and voila it is done
you can use lo-cal mayo and lo-cal dressing to bring down the calories
this is one of the potato salad's I make in summer
It is my favorite

Yes, talk dirty to it for the best results.
A chat is a small (baby) potato.
Sorry I dont know what the calories are, I will look back on that site and see if it says.

Edit:
I couldnt find the calorie info for this dish.
To make it a little bit healthier, you could use low fat, low cal mayo and lean bacon.
