Penny's Delicious No Pickle Potato Salad image

This is the only potato salad I would eat as a child, because I didn't like pickles. The recipe is from my aunt. She uses garlic chive, which I have substituted by using the same amount of chive and a clove of garlic. I usually leave off the nasturtiums, but they add a nice *Zip* if you have them.
