Grandma's Potato Salad

My grandmother's potato salad was a favorite at all of our summer picnics.  I have tweaked her recipe a bit by adding fresh herbs, but for the most part, this is the same salad I loved as a girl.

It can be dressed up a bit by placing it in a lovely glass bowl for a summer party, or taken to the beach in a plastic container -- the presentation is up to you!!
