Picnic Potatoes

This is one of my most made summertime recipes, because it’s easy, quick, delicious AND it keeps well. I’ve coined it ‘Picnic Potatoes’ because it’s the perfect thing to make ahead and bring to any summer occasion - a picnic, a potluck, a bbq, what have you. To really nail this recipe, be sure to follow these tips:

  1. Make sure your water is salted. This really adds to the flavour of the potatoes
  2. Do not overcook the potatoes! Mushy potatoes are the death of this dish
  3. Dress the potatoes while they are still warm, that way they absorb the dressing better
