I am a big fan of potatoes. Fried, baked, roasted, mashed, whipped, scalloped, in a hash, in a soup, and even steamed, I honestly can’t imagine my life without them. My love for potatoes is limitless – I love the starchy, large Idaho potatoes, the delicate fingerling, especially the purple and the red, and the sweet potatoes (but only in savory application).
If you are a mom, you know that you shouldn’t admit to having a favorite child…but secretly, you might have one, right? Similarly, I would hate to admit my favorite way to eat potatoes, but I do love potato salad! Growing up, I had the Russian potato salad, which I should be sharing with you soon. Once in America, I became a fan of the All American Summer Potato Picnic Salad. But the potato salad love does not stop there! This time around, my love of potatoes takes us to Spain.
1/2 cup mayonnaise

What’s your favorite way to eat potatoes?
I think it'd actually be really good as a warm salad…maybe with some crumlbed chorizzo!
Roasted potatoes are my favorite way to cook/eat potatoes, but a beautiful potato salad is hard to beat! I look forward to trying this. The capers, piquillo, olives & paprika sound like a perfect combo.
Olga – hmmm, nice dry Spanish chorizo would be great in that! Wouldn't even have to cook it.Carol – thanks! Let me know how the recipe works for you.
I'm Spanish and I've never tried this 'Spanish salad', though the Russian salad that you mention is tremendously popular, especially in the summer when it's scorching hot outside. Piquillo peppers are great for stuffing, though restaurants sometimes add them to your meat order, with some fried potatoes.
