Hotter days are on the horizon, and so are those potato salad cravings. Here, the beloved American classic gets multiple makeovers (as does its sweet tater sibling). Sections titled "Root Issues," "Picnic Pals," "Uptown Taters" and "Spud Suppers" allows the spud to shine beyond its typical side dish role.
Takeaway tips: Some introductions are for flipping quickly through, but this one is worth reading. "Root Issues," which tells how best to prepare and serve potatoes, includes a useful takeaway tip to boil potatoes whole and unpeeled, which eliminates the threat of them absorbing too much water during the cooking process.
