Do you like salt and vinegar chips and like to deviate from the well beaten path to creamy potato salads? Then you will love this potato salad. It has a vinegar and oil dressing with salt and ample grindings of fresh ground pepper. It even has crumbled kettle style salt and vinegar chips mixed in at the last minute for a little crunch.
Tip : If you are planning to grill something to go with the potatoes, you could pop the potatoes on the hot grill to get some nice grill marks instead of browning them in a skillet.
