Notes

Now I know your probably thinking mustard and paprika? Trust me on this, these two ingredients make potato salad so much better.
Now like I mentioned you could add in anything else you like since this is just a simple potato salad. I like to add hard boiled eggs and green onions.
You could also add in some peppers, celery, radishes, red onion,shredded carrots, etc.
