Looks good but for one pound of potatoes it wasn't worth dirtying a
bowl... and you peeled them, so there was even less, wouldn't fill a
cavity... and to me all that dressing looks sufficent for three pounds
of potatoes. I wouldn't consider cooking one pound of potatoes for
anything... I typically use an entire five pound bag, may reserve the
two largest for baked... I like to make plenty for left overs, potato
salad tastes even better the next day... if it was worth making at all
then make more than one serving. I can't believe that anyone goes to
the trouble of making potato salad with just one measly pound of
spuds... normal folks buy that little bit at the deli.
