Classic potato salad

This classic potato salad is very popular in Middle and Eastern Europe. It’s normally served cold at parties, picnics and events. This is the basic recipe - normally we add fresh herbs or blanched veggies to it too, such as peas, green beans, spinach and so on.  Sometimes we combine the mayo with sour cream,; other times we add a spoonful of mustard to the dressing. Feel free to modify it to your liking or to the occasion!
