Grilled Potato Salad


A couple weeks ago my husband’s family had a cook-out and I was clueless what to bring since we are in the 90’s here in Atlanta and I didn’t want to make anything that would spoil in the heat. So, what is summer without a delicious potato salad? Not a very good one! I found a recipe on the Kraft website that looked delicious but it didn’t have any reviews. I rarely will try a recipe from a website without any type of reviews but that recipe just seemed too easy for it not to work. With this recipe you won’t ever miss your normal mayonnaise-laced potato salad. It is extremely delicious and has become a go-to recipe for the summer.
