There is a barbeque chain in Texas called the County Line. They have some of the best food... particularly their potato salad! I found this recipe and had to share! I use to only make mustard potato salad, but this recipe has changed my ways. Enjoy!

I worked for some years at the county line in okc and have to say this recipe is spot on - especially since it's from the county line! I didn't even like potato salad until I ate this back around 1990. It is bar-non the best potato salad I've encountered yet and this recipe is my only way to get it in OKC now that they have closed our county line here. Everyone raves when I make this!
