Regular readers will know what a fan I am of the serendipitous find. So, imagine my joy when, in the middle of writing the post on Johnny Cash’s Chili, sorting through a huge pile of recipes I had collected over the last year or so, I found a recipe from his daughter Rosanne Cash for Potato Salad.
I felt that finding it was either a sign from the universe to make some potato salad or that the Cash family were stalking me in a really weird way.
I decided to make potato salad.
Have I ever told you how much I love potato salad?
Like LOVE it. 😍
I have CRIED when I have tasted a potato salad that looked gorgeous only to find the potato was half raw. Or the dressing was watery
That’s how much I love potato salad.
And I have incredibly high standards. So far in my life, the only ‘tatie salad that even comes close to my mum’s is my best friend Monica’s. It’s one of the reasons I adore her.
Maybe THAT’s how much I love potato salad…
Good potato salad? Friend. For. Life.
Bad potato salad? Never darken my door again!
And Rosanne Cash’s had all the hallmarks of being a GOOD potato salad. Or the one. Which is the inclusion . of hard-boiled eggs. Seriously. Mum’s potato salad has them. Monica’s potato salad has them. And this one has them. And, spoiler alert. We are now talking my top-three potato salads.
Because Rosanne Cash’s potato salad is AWESOME.
The only problem with the Rosanne Cash Potato Salad?
There was not enough of it!
Basic user error. Before making anything check your ingredients. ALWAYS check your ingredients. All of them. Even the ones where you think “Oh I always have plenty of that / those / them”
Especially those ones. Otherwise, you will go to the shops to buy celery and pickles. And come home to discover you only have three tiny potatoes. But it’s getting late and if you want to be eating this delicious sounding potato salad any time before midnight then you don’t have time to go all the way back to the store to buy more potatoes.
So…a tiny potato salad it was…
You can also do the thing….cos here’s the recipe. Just make sure you have potatoes a plenty!
And here is he of the chilli and she of the potato salad way back in 1956!
Have a great week!
