Mustard of Fun Potato Salad from the Longmeadow Farm

Submitted by Andi Longmeadow Farm

"How in the world does a potato salad become fun? It is fun for various reasons, one because potatoes by their very unusual nature are fun. They grow away peacefully slumbering in the ground, not really caring or observant of the world above them. They are funny looking oval creatures that are dirty, grimy, and don't always smell that great upon harvest. But there is nothing better then digging potatoes, although back breaking at times, the happiness one can appreciate when finally touching the big vegetable waiting as a ripe egg under the deep dark earth, to delight your taste buds, and bring wonderful nourishment to your body and soul. And hey, this little recipe has no mayonnaise, no egg, but lots of flavor. Enjoy, and remember how the potato got its start. I use Recipe #43522 by Bev for my Italian Dressing. Oh my, but this is delicious!"

Really good! So easy to make and it just tastes so fresh. The mustard flavor came through loud and clear, so choose one you love. I used dijon and liked the tang. Made for Veg*n Swap #14.

Very tasty potato salad! I used regular potatoes and Zesty Italian dressing. Thanks Andi for a yummy salad!

Wonderfully flavoursome low-fat potato salad that certainly doesn't taste low-fat! This was also super-fast to prepare as, by using bmcnicol's Crock Pot Baked Potatoes 259599, I was able to tune in part way through the instructions. I just warmed the potatoes in the microwave for about a minute so that they were slightly warmed when I added the salad dressing. I used a Dijon mustard as that's what I had on hand but otherwise followed Andi's instructions, which were very clear. But what I love most about Andi's recipes are the wonderful back stories, which she provides for her recipes - which spill over into my joy in making them and pleasure in eating them. I've always loved potatoes, but thanks to Andi, I shall forever appreciate them as FUN vegetables. And this was yet another great recipe, which, with summer coming up here, I'll definitely be making again . Thanks, Andi! Made for EVERY DAY IS A HOLIDAY!

I didn't miss the mayo. I even cut some fat by using lowfat italian dressing. I liked the idea of the horseradish mustard, so I used the brown spicy kind and added a bit of horseradish. It's a spunky potato salad! I'll be making this whenever I want a different mayo-free potato salad. Thanx for sharing.
