Kraft Kitchens Tips

Purchasing Potatoes

Look for firm, smooth, well-shaped potatoes that are free of wrinkles, cracks and blemishes. Avoid any with green-tinged skins or sprouting "eyes" or buds.

Even with basil and eggs, this is pretty bland for potato salad. But it certainly does look good.

I added 1/4 spicy Italian dressing while the potatos were still hot, let them cool, then reduced the amount of mayo. Adds a nice zip of flavor.

I made it lowfat miracle whip, added celery and used Lawry's season salt (I almost always do when cooking potatoes) and it came out great. My husband ate his portion when we had lunch and then finished the entire rest of the salad later than evening, saying, "If you didn't want me to eat it, you shouldn't have made it taste so good."

No one will know this is low fat. Excellent mix of flavors. My guests cleaned out the bowl!

My husband really liked, except for the bell pepper.

Refreshing alternative to heavier potato salad. However, everyone added a little salt as it seemed bland. Next time will try the garlic salt or maybe onion salt.

what about onions or celery?? Always gives it a 'kick' and adds flavor.
