Making potato salad ahead
Texannie
07/17/06 		I have a great recipe that starts with Italian dressing. Would this work for making the potato salad ahead?

Wednesday - Boil red potatoes with skin on, cubed, drain. Pour Italian dressing on them while still hot. Refridgerate covered
Thursday - mix in mayo, mustard, celery and other spices. Refridgerate.
Friday - Serve.
