Summertime is hot, or maybe not

Potato Salad recipes are summer favorites
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
We’re all familiar with traditional potato salad in the South, and it is delicious. But there are many variations on this delicious dish.
The one thing all of these recipes have is common is the humble potato. There is probably an interpretation of this old friend that will be a welcome addition to your kitchen.
As for the potatoes, some are peeled, some are not. The dressings vary from creamy to light. Some are tangy and some are slightly sweet. And some are hot and others cold.
But they are all recognizable as our old favorite, potato salad. Enjoy.
