Dill Potato Salad

There is nothing better than potato salad when you are making barbecue.  Last night I made barbecue pork chops with grilled zucchini and I thought a potato salad would be a great addition.

If you have ever searched the internet for potato salad recipes there are literally over 2,500 on just one website alone.  I have tried several and this is one that I will definitely keep.   I used Miracle Whip when making this salad.  I have listed the recipe as published on Food.com. This site was the former Recipezaar.com.
