For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the red onion before chopping and adding it to the salad. Feel free to experiment with different types of blue cheese, such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort. If you don't have fresh basil on hand, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried basil. This potato salad is best served within 24 hours of making it.
