Potato Salad (American)

Some years ago I had my friend Diane over for a BBQ and I had made the Dutch potato salad. Diane mentioned to me that my potato salad taste a lot like her Mom’s. The difference between hers and the Dutch potato salad is that we have meat in the potato salad ;). I asked Diane to share her Moms recipe with me. The secret ingredient to her potato salad is sandwich spread, who would have thought. She was telling me “why do all the work when you can find it all in one jar”? And now I am sharing her recipe with you. Take this recipe to a potluck and I promise you, people will ask for this recipe.
