Outstanding! and a nice change from the norm. I made some changes because I decided to make this at the last minute and didn't have the exact ingredients on hand: I used larger red potatoes (peeled) and cut them into chunks rather than slicing them. I also omitted the bacon because I had none, but added some thawed frozen kernel corn. I opted for extra cayenne pepper and garnished the salad with fresh cilantro and a sprinkling of sliced scallions. Served this with grilled garlic shrimp and pita bread heated on the grill. This is truly a keeper.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
