Italian Potato Salad is easy to prepare and loaded with fresh ingredients. It is made ahead of time and stored at room temperature so it makes the perfect recipe to serve at gatherings and holidays. Who doesn’t love a delicious, easy, make ahead recipe?
I love to make this for a large group. The reason – it is perfect for a crowd? You don’t need to refrigerate it, you leave it to rest on the counter, so you can make it ahead of time and forget about it until its time to eat. When you are busy pulling together the other dishes you can know that the Potato Salad is ready to go! I used 12 pounds of potatoes at last weekends dinner party, I had about 8 cups of finished salad left over.
I had some left over after the party, so I threw it in a skillet with olive oil and crisped up the potatoes to serve with scrambled eggs!
