This is the recipe my sister always uses and I ask her to make it whenever I have a family gathering. The potatoes are always cooked just right and the lemon juice adds a surprising and unexpected flavor that brightens the whole salad. I warn you, though ..... once you taste it you'll never want another potato salad again. It's absolutely delicious!!!
