I’m going to make this with the potato salad you also shared for my son’s 4th bday party this weekend, thank you, Megan! If I have no food restrictions, what do you think would be the best combination for flavor? Mayo or sour cream? Coconut milk or cream? Maybe mayo and sour cream? Thank you so much!
Megan says
