MASHED POTATO SALAD WITH SCALLIONS AND HERBS
Creamier than a classic potato salad, and chunkier and zestier than regular mashed potatoes, this hybrid dish can be served warm or at room temperature, when its texture is at its softest and best. (Never serve this cold; no one likes cold mashed potatoes.) The key to getting the right texture is to cook the potatoes a little more than you would for potato salad, but not so much that they completely fall apart. You are looking for chunks of potatoes coated in a fluffy layer of highly seasoned mashed potatoes. Potato salads tend to absorb their seasonings as they sit, so for the most flavorful dish, be prepared to add more salt, lemon juice and olive oil to taste just before serving.

Steps:
- Cook the potatoes in a pot of well-salted water until they are very tender but not mushy, 15 to 22 minutes. Drain well.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together lemon zest and juice, rosemary, salt, pepper and hot sauce. When the salt is dissolved, whisk in the olive oil, mayonnaise and mustard.
- Add potatoes to the bowl and mix them very well, until well coated with dressing. Then use the spoon to mash about a quarter of them. You want 1-inch (or so) chunks of potatoes coated in some mashed potatoes. Add scallions and parsley and toss well. Taste and add more salt, lemon juice, hot sauce and olive oil, if needed. Scatter chopped basil or dill over dressed potatoes. Serve warm or at room temperature, but not cold.

CRUSHED BABY POTATOES WITH SARDINES, CELERY AND DILL
Boiled potatoes are great to keep on hand for out-of-hand snacking and as a quick addition to things like a skillet full of chicken fat or a midday lunch salad, but also excellent as a foil for rich, fatty, tinned fish. In this recipe from "Nothing Fancy" (Clarkson Potter, 2019), the potatoes are crushed because it allows the chunkiness (which lends texture) to coexist with the more broken-up pieces (which lends creaminess). Plus, those exposed craggy edges are here for maximum lemony, scalliony, salty dressing absorption.

Steps:
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until they're completely tender, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on size of the potato. Drain and let sit about 10 minutes or so, until they're cool enough to crush with your hands or another implement.
- Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, 1/4 cup dill, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, lemon zest and half the scallions in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper and more lemon juice to taste, as needed.
- Scatter the potatoes and celery on a large serving platter or in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the olive oil mixture over.
- Top with the celery leaves, remaining scallions, more dill and more black pepper. Serve with sardines or anchovies alongside or scattered over the top, if desired.

Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a saucepan with a large pinch of kosher salt, cover with water by an inch or two, bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium, partially cover, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

- When the potatoes are at room temperature, cut them into 3/4-inch chunks and put them in a mixing bowl.
- Add the celery, radishes, scallions and dill and fold to distribute; set aside.
- In a small bowl whisk the cream until frothy but not stiffened.
- Whisk in the mayonnaise and mustard, then add the lemon juice, zest, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and fold with a rubber spatula.
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Serve, or cover and chill for up to a day.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red bliss, hold their shape well in potato salad and don't get mushy. Russet potatoes are not a good choice for potato salad because they are too starchy and will fall apart.
- Cook the potatoes properly: To prevent the potatoes from becoming waterlogged, cook them in a large pot of boiling water until they are just tender. Do not overcook them, or they will become mushy.
- Use a light mayonnaise: A light mayonnaise will help to keep the potato salad from becoming too heavy. You can also use Greek yogurt or sour cream as a healthier alternative to mayonnaise.
- Add mix-ins to taste: Potato salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and herbs. Some common mix-ins include celery, scallions, red onion, dill, and parsley. You can also add hard-boiled eggs, bacon, or ham.
Conclusion:
Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a potato salad recipe that everyone will enjoy.
