French Style Potato Salad

No ratings yet
This French Style Potato Salad is something my grandma used to make when I was little. It's made without mayonnaise and full of delicious fresh herbs. Traditional French potato salad has cornichons (tiny gherkin pickles) but my grandmother did not put them in so I do not either but you do you! Either way this potato salad is delicious served slightly warm or room temperature. It never lasts long in our house!
