For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh dill or parsley to the dressing. If you prefer a sweeter potato salad, increase the sugar to 2 tablespoons. The potato salad can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Feel free to experiment with different types of potatoes. Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes would also be delicious in this recipe. Adjust seasonings to your liking. Some people like to add a dash of hot sauce for a little kick.
