Best-Ever Potato Salad

This Best-Ever Potato Salad is really so delicious and is just the perfect side-dish for a BBQ or picnic. You can make this a couple of hours in advance and serve as is.  You can also place in the fridge and chill for up to 12 hours.  Just let is come back to room temp and then stir.  Either way, it's always a crowd-pleaser and so delicious!

  8. Return the cooled potatoes with celery and onion into the large serving bowl. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently stir with wooden spoon until the spuds are fully coated. 
  9. Cover with plastic wrap.  Serve within 2 hours at room temperature.  Or, refrigerate for up to 12 hours, or overnight.  Best if allowed to return to room temperature before serving.  Give the salad a few good mixes with the wooden spoon.
