This Italian potato salad, in my opinion, is the world’s best potato salad. The recipe may be simple and easy to make, but hardly lacking in mouthwatering goodness! Try it once, and it will be in your regular rotation. I eat this to supplicate my craving for more unhealthy options, such as French fries. Your kids will even love it. Make it for lunch or take it on the go with you Vaya Tyffyn lunch box.
