<p>I love potato salad and I love making it BBQ gatherings or as a side dish when cooking at home. This potato salad is very versatile, you can just grill or pan cook any type of protein and add it as a side. I also like to put it out in charcuterie boards, or in a sandwich.</p>



<p><strong>What you’ll need:</strong></p>



<p>Medium size sauce pot<br>Knife &; cutting board<br>Medium size mixing bowl<br>Large spoon or wooden spoon<br>Colander<br>Fork </p>
