For the heck of it on a dull afternoon we put the “scientific method” to the taste test to determine the best potatoes for potato salad. There were only 3 varieties on hand to test: russet, red, and Yukon Gold. One-half pound of each were cooked just till tender, drained, cooled and cubed. The recipe selected was Classic Potato Salad from BHG.COM. One-fourth of the recipe ingredients were combined with each of the half-pound cooked potato varieties, and a single blind study using volunteer taste testers unanimously determined the potato champion.....Yukon Gold. That batch of salad had potatoes with a pleasing, moist and smooth texture that kept shape the best. Oh yeah, and after all was said and done, we just mixed the salads all together for dinner, and no one was the wiser (except the ‘insiders.’)

- 12 de Junio de 2012LOL! Gotcha! I copied the recipe anyway. I've never had great success with potato salad, but this looks good.
11 de Junio de 2012Whoops - I said up front this was "unscientific" but I didn't need to be sloppy with the typos! I have fixed the problem and now the recipe shows 1 tablespoon prepared mustard. Thanks, Eagle Eye!
