| Ultimate Potato Salad |
Hands down, I think my Mom makes the very best Potato Salad. She has been making it for years and I crave it. I am rarely home at the same time Mom makes her famous Potato Salad, so I had to make due with a version that I could make at home. I found this recipe in Tyler Florence's Cookbook Tyler's Ultimate and when I saw that it called for Capers and Pickle juice, I was sold. Don't ask...I am weird.

hmmm. Well, I believe that MUSTARD would be the most important potato salad ingredient but I must admit that the capers make this recipe very interesting and plan to try it! As a matter of fact, I just bought capers because you posted the nummy recipe for mushrooms to accompany steaks. We plan to try out that buttery mushroom caper goodness this week while Tom and Lynn are home. :) Enjoy having Renee and Lee there!
