Red, White & Bleu Potato Salad image

This is a perfect potato salad for patriotic holidays or any day, really. This is my modification of a recipe I found here on the Zaar. The original was posted by evelyn/athens and can be found here: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Blue-Cheese-Potato-Salad-68007. ***I add no salt to this recipe other than while cooking potatoes, so use as you see fit.***
