CALIFORNIA POTATO SALAD
Since my partner is very picky about what he likes in his potato salad, I have made my own version of home-made PS and it's always a hit with friends and family. Not for the calorie faint but it's real, real good! Ingredient quantities are variable to taste. I think it's the garlic that takes it to the next level. Try it! For best flavor allow it to set overnight in the fridge. Using a mix of yellow, white, and red potatoes is really the best.

Steps:
- Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Allow to cool.
- Place the eggs into a saucepan in a single layer and fill with water to cover the eggs by 1 inch. Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, remove from the heat and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Pour out the hot water and cool the eggs under cold running water in the sink. Peel once cold. Dice the eggs.
- In a salad bowl, lightly toss the potatoes, eggs, artichoke hearts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, croutons, Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, and mayonnaise until all ingredients are coated with dressing.

Tips:
- Use waxy potatoes: Choose firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or New Potatoes. They hold their shape better when cooked and won't get mushy in the salad.
- Cook the potatoes just until tender: Overcooked potatoes will fall apart easily and make the salad less appealing.
- Cool the potatoes completely before assembling the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light hand when dressing the salad: Too much dressing can make the salad soggy. Start with a small amount and add more if needed.
- Add the eggs, celery, and vegetables just before serving: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked or wilted.
- Serve the salad chilled: Calico potato salad is best served cold, so make sure to chill it for at least an hour before serving.
Conclusion:
Calico potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its colorful vegetables and creamy dressing, it's sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
