The secret step is the French Salad Dressing which is poured over the potatoes while they are hot so they absorb the flavour. You can use homemade or store bought French Salad Dressing. This potato salad will last for 4 to 5 days and just gets better. It is best made at least a day ahead, or at least a few hours before serving. Serves 6 to 8 as a side.
