I am nuts for this potato salad. It's been my favorite recipe of the summer. I think it might be even better the next day.

What a winner this one was. Simple, delicious and made with things from the pantry or our garden. We loved it and I'm sure it'll get made again. I made half a recipe which the two of us devoured in no time. I wasn't sure what "native" oil was, but went with olive oil.

Great Salad. So full of flavor! I love potato salads and anchovies! I loved the fact that we put potatoes in a skillet and cook them with the sauce. Unique! Thanks,tigerduck!

different and delicious! i never eat the mayo potato salad, and i am always on the lookout for something different with the non-mayo type; this is it. the wine and the anchovies give this such a distinct taste but all the flavors blend together so nicely and give it a taste that makes you want more. the only change i made was that i subbed vidalia onions for the green as our stores had none around here. i also used fine ground sea salt and cracked black pepper. easy to make; and in my opinion "safer" for picnics over the mayo based versions.
