Leia's Creamy Potato Salad

Whether you are going for a picnic, having a backyard barbecue party or just looking for an easy summer dish  to throw together for your family meal, yo're going to love this creamy potato side dish.    

Simple, with a few ingredients that you probably have on hand, perfect cold dish to take along in a cooler. The potatoes can be boiled ahead, pealed and kept refrigerated until you are ready to make the salad. 

My family doesn't like raw onion much, so to softened the taste, I sprinkle the chopped onion with some salt and drizzle with a teaspoon of lemon juice and leave it to macerate for 5 minutes. It takes away the strong taste and the bite of onions.  I do the same thing with raw red or white onion. Works really well.

Happy Summer!
