This is a potato salad recipe that drops the dominating mayonnaise flavor to the background, while the usually hushed mustard stars center stage. The egg salad helps support the pungent flavor of mustard and contributes its own creaminess to the potato salad.
Mustard comes in so many different varieties. Be it spicy brown, Dijon, mellow yellow, or one less common, the choice is yours.
