ISO: Potato Salad Recipe ('94-'95)?

[Natasha]

Hi,
A while back, on the old board, someone asked for a CL Potato Salad recipe from a few years back. I believe it was voted one of the best of the decade. ElinorC posted her own version of this recipe, which I love so much that I keep making it again - and again - you get the picture. (Thanks Elinor!)
Thing is, I can't find my copy of this recipe now. I think I might have committed it to memory by now, but would like to be sure. Would anyone be so kind as to post the original? Or Elinor, if you're out there, would you please post your version again? (I promise not to lose it this time!)
To anyone who doesn't remember seeing this recipe from the old board, it is SO good. Enjoy!

[Deanna]

I agree, it is DELISH!

Thanks Vanessa! This looks terrific. I like the idea of adding hard-boiled eggs and parsley. Mmmmm...

I made the recipe that Vanessa posted as a side dish tonight, and we liked it. Thanks again, Vanessa!

I must admit, though, that I took quite a few liberties with the recipe based on the ingredients that I had (and didn t have) on hand.

BTW, anyone else have problems accessing this board earlier this evening?
