Mexican Potato and Vegetable Salad...

I first heard about this recipe a couple of years ago, from my friend Saul....I hadn't realized that there was another 'potato salad'....but there is a Mexican one that has potatoes, and no egg and mayonaise.....It is so good and filling! And what is better, it will hold up very well at an outdoor picnic! I think you could add whatever vegetables you like or have fresh...I think fresh roasted corn, cut off the cob would be good and radishes.....
