Warm Blue Potato And Green Onion Salad Recipe

When the weather starts getting warm and we begin breaking out our best bright pink sundresses and laying out our bright blue picnic blankets on the Great Lawn, I start craving potato salad. It’s no secret that my mother has a bit of an obsession with mayonnaise, so it should be no surprise that the version of potato salad I grew up with contained plenty of it. it also contained plenty of gourmet twists, though — lots of fresh chives and parsley, really good hot French mustard, and a sprinkle of capers to give the bland, creamy potatoes an extra briny bite. While this isn’t my mother’s potato salad, it’s good. I was inspired by the vibrant ingredients I spotted at the farmers’ market and intended to bring the dish to a picnic. But, Mother Nature turned on us. So I made the salad for myself in my apartment, and since there was no sun to bask in, I decided to compensate by adding a little warmth to my potato salad instead. — Phoebe
