Southern Vidalia Onion Potato Salad

This is my favorite potato salad and a great side dish, but an even better part of any party buffet. I particularly appreciate that the ingredients are always in my pantry. Personally, I like to assemble this salad fast, after boiling the potatoes - so that their heat transfers to the other ingredients when served warm. But of course, it's great chilled as well! - Tara
