Mom's Italian Potato Salad

Mom's Italian Potato Salad

This is one of my favorite recipes handed down from my mom. The best thing is there are lots of vegetables and flavors, and it’s usually a welcome change from standard American versions. The olives are the best part! To save time, I usually chop all the vegetables and make the dressing while the potatoes are boiling.
