“It is no secret that I love tri tip. That may be an understatement. My karate dojo has been doing a BBQ fundraiser for a few years now that included tri tip, chicken, baked beans and potato salad. All of it is wonderful. I buy two dinners for myself each time. But my favorite part … the potato salad! Best potato salad I’ve ever had. So naturally, I went looking for a copy cat recipe. This recipe comes very close.” – April Ferre
