this time every year to encourage the underground bulb to thicken up. They taste like garlic and can be used in any
dress them potatoes once they are cooked. The potatoes would then take on more flavor
of the dressing. So I highly recommend
that change. This potato salad has a
great perfume from the garlic, mild onion flavor from the scallions, great
crunch from the snow peas and a light dressing that makes the potatoes silken

Recipe for Potato Salad with Garlic Scapes, Scallions and Snap Peas Adapted
from Fine Cooking Magazine. Serves
6-8
3 lb. small to medium
yellow potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, peeled and cut into 3/4 to 1 inch dice.
1/4 lb. garlic
scapes, pods and tips removed

with a fork, about 15 minutes more. Add the peas and simmer until crisp-tender,
1 to 2 minutes. Drain the potatoes and peas in a colander. Rinse the peas under cold water to stop the
cooking, and let drain.
3. While the potatoes cool, whisk the mayonnaise, oil, lemon zest and juice, and 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper in a small bowl. In a
