i made this twice, adjusting to taste and trying different herbs. Rosemary was my favorite added flavor. Took it to a picnic and it was well received.

We were looking forward to this recipe because although we love potato salad so many of them have too much mayonnaise. Unfortunately, this recipe has a tad bit too much vinegar flavor for our taste.

I am not one to eat potato salad, but this sounded really good. I am not a mayo person, so I am always a bit shy of various salads like this, but this mustard based salad was great, even if I was missing the flour..which made it a bit less exciting. I recommend this to anyone!
