How to Make Italian Potato Salad:

- Place the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss until well-coated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the potato salad immediately or refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
