Danish Potato Salad

Potato salad is a classic at Danish BBQ’s. Most families have their own recipes, and sometimes you just take the easy way out and use a store bought. But homemade is best. I like to have different textures in my potato salad, and the asparagus, peppers and radishes give me just that.
