It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t love potatoes; I mean, potatoes are so versatile, right? I happen to be a fan of red potatoes, so I decided to make something that I love eating, but have never made myself: red potato salad! You might be surprised to learn that I’ve never made potato salad before now.
