Tips for Amazing Potatoes:
- Boil your potatoes in chicken stock (or veggie stock, if vegetarian) instead of water. It will infuse more flavor into your potatoes, guaranteeing a yummy potato inside and out.
-
When making potato salad, use yukon gold or small red potatoes. They have a creamier consistancy and hold up well to dressing.

this sounds delicious, though I’d have to cut the recipe size drastically, there being only me to cook for. I think I’ll give this a try, though; I need a new recipe for potato salad, and I truly “like-like” avocadoes (as a former coworker says instead of “loving” something). Thank you for posting what reads as delicious!
