“This was really good although the vinegar was a lil strong for me so I’ll likely use less next time. I usually use the leftover crawfish boil potatoes they add a lot of depth to a potato salad so I did boil my potatoes in the same seasonings I use for that and” — a cook, 4.0★

“I just made this recipe and it's delicious. Thanks for such a wonderful website. I'm a complete amateur when it comes to cooking so I didn't know what kind of potatoes to purchase. I ended up purchasing half red potatoes, and half golden potatoes.” — a cook, 5.0★
