I really like this recipe. I use it all the time but I do modify it. I do not use the saffron or the tomatoes. I include peas (cook a cup or so of frozen and throw them in at the end and red onion (chopped and the herbs I will use fresh or dried if I don't have fresh handy. Either way this recipe is always a hit and its really simple to make.

The taste is unique. I love the balance between the ingredients - each one brings a surprise flavor. I have made it many time and get lots of compliments. It is not your standard potato salad and I crave it sometimes. Thanks, Bobby

i made this for dinner last night, and received a great review from my dad: "that was the best potato salad i've ever had!" in fact when i woke up this morning (late! i went straight to the fridge to eat the leftovers, but dad had beat me to it.
i added two hard boiled eggs to the mix and a pinch of paprika; i didn't even have fresh thyme or parsley so i had to do without.
i am definitely going to add this to my recipe box.
