TRUE-BLUE POTATO SALAD



True-Blue Potato Salad image

This is from allrecipes.com. Blue cheese lovers will probably love this. I used blue potatoes when I made it and did not peel them. It calls for 1.5 teaspoons of salt, but I find this to be too salty since there is also salt in the cheese. I will probably use 1/2 teaspoon of salt next time I make this. Note: It doesn't seem to keep well. We had leftovers the next day and the salad was watery.
