Potato salad showdown!

red potatoes
Warmth is great and all, but one of the best things about summer is potatoes -- growing, barbecuing them, and of course, lathering them in all sorts of tasty things and making a potato salad.

For years I didn't go near the German variety of tater salad -- I was a strict mayo and potato gal. This is probably a good thing since I never would have dug the sauerkraut flavor that lingers in the obviously German mix. Now, they're both pretty darned tasty. The mayonnaise variety offers the creaminess of the lathered potato with the crisp crunch of celery and onions. The German variety, on the other hand, offers a warm and tasty mixture of potato and vinegary sharp goodness. (And it isn't too shabby cold either.)

With this being the start of Memorial Day Weekend, there's no better time to whip up some potato salad and kick off the awesome season of warmth. Check out the recipes that follow, revel in all things tatery, and be sure to comment about your own special touches.

I chopped and threw into the bowl the following:
1/2 radicchio
1/2 endive
1/4 bunch fresh dill
5 scallions
1/2 bulb fennel
1/2 cup peas
approx. 25 new potatoes (halved and boiled, skin on)
mayo
red wine vinegar
salt / pepper
garlic powder


Yummo!!
