RED POTATO SALAD
This pretty red potato salad has great flavor. Goes well with a summer barbeque, or anytime! For a tangy twist, try using plain fat-free yogurt in place of some or all of the sour cream. Garnish with additional sliced hard-boiled eggs, if desired.

- Put the potatoes in a pot of lightly salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Continue boiling the potatoes until they are tender enough to be pierced easily by the tip of a small, sharp knife, 15 -20 minutes depending on their size. Drain the potatoes and let them cool to room temperature.

Steps:
- Whisk 1/2 cup green onions and next 7 ingredients in medium bowl. Cover and chill dressing.
- Do ahead: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
- Place all potatoes in large saucepan. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Sprinkle with salt. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium, and boil until tender, 10 to 15 minutes (time will vary depending on size and variety of potatoes). Drain and cool to room temperature.
- Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place in large bowl. Add dressing, peas, and blue cheese; toss gently. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
- Sprinkle potato salad with paprika and remaining 1/2 cup green onions.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: For the best texture and flavor, use waxy red potatoes. Avoid using starchy potatoes like Russets, as they will become too mushy in the salad.
- Boil Potatoes Until Just Tender: Overcooked potatoes will fall apart in the salad. Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork - they should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Cool Potatoes Completely: Before adding the dressing, let the potatoes cool completely. This will prevent the dressing from becoming runny.
- Use a Light Dressing: Red potato salad should not be weighed down by a heavy dressing. A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is best.
- Add Fresh Herbs and Vegetables: Fresh herbs and vegetables add flavor and color to the salad. Try adding chopped celery, onion, dill, or parsley.
- Let the Salad Marinate: For the best flavor, let the salad marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Red potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
