The Easter ham now chilling in the fridge, right beside the Easter eggs … Hmmm, what to do for dinner tonight?!  I know!  Whip up a little potato salad to go with some grilled ham sandwiches!

Truth be told, I’m kind of a potato salad snob. Cold boiled potatoes with a little mayo and a dab of mustard does not a potato salad make, not even with a liberal dash of paprika. One bite of this, and you’ll never look at a hard boiled egg the same way again!
