Any of my friends who have read Studio Botanica posts for a while, may recall that I LOVE potatoes. I love them every way, I've ever tried them, with the exception of (sorry mom!) my mom's scalloped potatoes. As a child, that was almost 'up there' with liver and onions in the "no thanks" department!
Otherwise, any potato recipe seems to jump out at me and scream "try me!". One of THE most favourite ways to enjoy tender new potatoes, in the summer, is definitely in a warm potato salad ~ a warm garlicky lemony simple preparation that brings a smile to family and friends alike. Tessa, a cousin-in-law, came to visit one summer and as a fabulous Lebanese-Australian caterer ~ treated us to her version of warm potato salad extraordinaire! I call this the best warm potato salad recipe ever ~ but whatever the name, you'll want to try this one if you include taters in your meals!
It's simple to make and is sure to please your family and guests. Adjust the size to fit your group; big or small.
