Potato Cobb Salad image

From Southern Living. This has a beautiful presentation! I sometimes scale the amounts way back to serve just me :) Great lunch salad too! I love having the starchy carbs in there! I also use just plain old red potatoes for this a lot of the time. Also, I usually cube potatoes before boiling. Also, I very rarely peel them because I love all the nutrients in the peel! Since I don't like raw tomatoes, I will leave them out. Sometimes I will sub sun-dried in their place! Prep-time does not include cooling time for potatoes, and cook time is assembly time.
