This delicious potato salad was inspired by a recipe handed down from my great grandparents, who lived in a small town near Sevilla, Spain. It was originally made with green olives and served at a local pub as "tapas" (appetizer). I updated the recipe with my own twist, sauteing capers in olive oil until crisp in place of the olives. I love the combination of smoky flavors and the tangy mustard dressing!
