I am SO glad that someone else knows how to make this style of potato salad. I was starting to think that I was a freak! We do try to use the red potatoes now, but when I was young the potato option at the store near us was often Russet or Nothing. As Nothing Potatoes make a pretty boring potato salad, we used Russets and ended up calling it "Smashed Potato Salad" as the Russets are more fragile when hot. Mom always made her own dressing because she thought that the bottled Italian dressings of the time were too sweet. The onions, and chopped egg also went in with the hot potatoes to give them more flavor. The hardest part was keeping my dad and I away from the marinating potatoes as they were cooling. We loved the finished product, but those potatoes sure did taste good. Thank you so much for putting this up. I can't believe I missed this when you first posted, but I am so glad to see it now.

(I don't think I've seen creamy Italian before... then again, I'm either buying ranch, or making dressing at home!) The creaminess comes from the mayo at the end. The dressing is just to marinate the potatoes! Sorry, the non creamy! (I don’t think I’ve seen creamy Italian before… then again, I’m either buying ranch, or making dressing at home!)

Normally I would assume the non-creamy, but in a potato salad, I'm not sure. Is that creamy Italian or regular Italian dressing?
