We will definitely have burgers and hot dogs, probably potato salad, but I like to try a new dish or two on holidays. Gives me a good reason to go all out.
So what are you making? Are you keeping it totally traditional? Do you have a family fav that shows up at these events? Any out of the box suggestions or twists on an old favorite?
Normally, hot dogs and potato salad but we’re driving home from family on the actual day so it’ll probably be delivery or takeout once we get home.
I need to up my potato salad game, though. I’ve never made it the same way twice and still haven’t pinned down what I really like.
I recently fell in love with Amanda Freitag’s Mediterranean potato salad from her cookbook. It’s German style, meaning oil/acid based, but it’s so delicious I can’t stand it. It’s almost more like a marinade you soak the potatoes in kind of like artichoke hearts. I highly suggest you check it out sometime. It’s now my gold standard for potato salad. It’s spicy though, but that can always be tuned down.
