I am going to try putting the dressing on hot potatoes. I always wait for them to cool, but it makes sense that they would absorb more dressing while still hot.

Just understand that the potatoes will not have that ‘cut’ look that most people like and are used to. It will be much more crumbly. The best food market in New Jersey - Sickles in Little Silver - now sells it along with a more traditional waxy potato salad.

Here is my variation of “Inez Fontenez’s Succotash” as printed in Gourmet Magazine by the great, late Laurie Colwin:
Sweat a chopped onion in some olive oil along with minced garlic and sweet red pepper.* Add salt and pepper and wait until the mess becomes softened. Now add a whole lot of sliced ginger, a 10 ounce package of frozen corn (or fresh corn if you like), 10 ounce package of lima beans and 1 to 2 cups of either water if you are a vegetarian or chicken broth if you are not. The chicken stock adds real flavor. Simmer it covered until the beans are tender. Remove lid and cook down for several minutes.
Even lima bean haters love this.
*I’ve never made this with a hot pepper but for folks who love heat, it might make a nice addition.

I actually like the texture of a mashed/ chunky potato salad. I am now seriously craving a bowl.

I made some for the 4th. It was delicious. Since I’ve been dieting since April, it was a real treat.

Hubby and I tried the Texas Potato Salad recipe from Cook’s Country over the weekend. I’m at work and don’t have access to the recipe to post, but it is super delicious.

This is fun to serve. All the ing are neatly arranged. Guests can choose big or small portions of each ing for their salad.The fab dressing is adapted from celebrity chef David Chang of Momofuku. His Octo Vinaigrette is the real star of this salad.

When cooked potato is cold it is a resistant starch and doesn’t break down into glucose. It becomes a fiber source for the gut microbiome and is actually beneficial for weight loss.

Yes, but when it comes to eating potato salad, I don’t really care about the health benefits. It’s a summertime treat although Laurie Colwin was a fan of serving it at wintertime dinner parties. I don’t have the courage to do that!

Omit the crunchy noodles and it would be fairly low-carb ;)

YES!! It is SO good!! Personally, I would increase the ratio of onions, jalapenos, celery, eggs, etc. to potato, but that’s just me. I like my potato salad to have lots of “stuff” in it. The pickling removes a lot of the kick from the jalapenos, for those who may be worried about this being too spicy.

This looks so delicious on the website:
No Churn Lemon Ice Cream
Ingredients:
2 cups cold heavy cream
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
6 oz lemon curd, slightly warmed until it is liquid enough to be swirled into the batter
Directions:
1. In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine heavy cream and lemon juice. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
2. In a large bowl, add condensed milk. Working in small batches, gently fold in the heavy cream. I added my heavy cream in three batches. You want to fold until no steaks remain and heavy cream is completely combined with the condensed milk. The heavy cream will loose its stiff peaks, but the final batter should still look airy and light. See photos from this post for reference.
3. Pour ice cream batter into a loaf pan or other similar sized container. Pour thin swirls of lemon curd over surface of the ice cream. Use a knife to swirl it evenly into the ice cream batter. Place into freezer and let set for 10-12 hours.

topped with fruit syrup and served over ice cream--a Hawaiian sundae.
