    Very nice. Did not add any carrot, but used extra celery and halved the mayo. Also added chopped garlic chives. One for my favourite list.

    Very nice and fresh flavour and easily scaled down.

    1/4 cup to 1/2 a cup of mayonnaise tasted much much better...my advice is to add a bit of mayo at a time and stop when you've reached acquired taste.

    This was a really nice version of Potato Salad. I used a cup of carrots instead of celery simply because I prefer them and next time I make this recipe I will use a little less mayo.
