The beautiful colors of this red, white, and blue potato salad come from the potatoes themselves. If you cannot find blue potatoes, purple ones will do, or simply use all red and white. This recipe is obviously perfect for the 4th of July due to the coloring, but you can enjoy it year-round. Red, White & Blue Potato Salad is even better at room temperature than cold.
