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.
