Classic Potato Salad

A classic side dish given a slight update. Absolutely delicious and easy to make (just need to prepare a bit in advance). Perfect for BBQs, pot-lucks, and summer picnics. This recipe is scaled down to about 1 lb, enough for a family of four, or for a couple people to enjoy leftovers. If making for a crowd, I recommend multiplying everything by two or three at least!
