  There is no maesurement scale on the amounts in the ingredients. e.g. 1/2 Sugar could be 1/2 a grain or 1/2 a Kg.

  Lovely receipe. I served it hot - but equally nice cold as leftovers! Next time tho I would use half the amount of onion - as it was a lot.

  Looked a bit odd during the process, but was really delicious when I served it a few hours later.

  I was disappointed to be honest. I left mine overnight, and then ate them cold as part of a 'pot luck' lunch, but they hadn't really taken on much flavour.

  I like the sour dressing! It's a wonderful dish with red meat.

  This was so easy, and very very tasty- just as nice cold the next day! Went down a treat with dinner guests! I heated the dressing in microwave first so sugar started to dissolve then poured over onions and left on a low temp for about 30 mins before serving- otherwise sugar didn't really do anything!

  Made this for a picnic today. Only modified slightly - used barely any oil at all and warmed all the dressing ingredients in a pan before pouring over potatoes. I also used one large red onion instead of small and red wine vinegar instead of cider. Went down a treat with everyone, I will make it again!

  As I can't stand mayo, it's great to find a really tasty potato salad recipe that doesn't need it. This will become a summer/party favourite for sure!

  I always make this now whenever I'm having a barbecue or am bringing food to a party. Always goes down very well with everyone!
