ITALIAN POTATO SALAD
My Nonnie used to make this potato salad for me whenever I was home for the holidays. It's a great alternative to mayo-based potato salads. Red wine vinegar works well, too.

FRENCH POTATO SALAD
Steps:
- Drop the white and red potatoes into a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until they are just cooked through. Drain in a colander and place a towel over the potatoes to allow them to steam for 10 more minutes. As soon as you can handle them, cut in 1/2 (quarters if the potatoes are larger) and place in a medium bowl. Toss gently with the wine and chicken stock. Allow the liquids to soak into the warm potatoes before proceeding.
- Combine the vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Add the vinaigrette to the potatoes. Add the scallions, dill, parsley, basil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss. Serve warm or at room temperature.
GARLICKY OLIVE OIL POTATO SALAD
This is very good, a refreshing twist to the traditional salad and a lot healthier than recipes full of mayo and sour cream. I found it on the blog "Amy's Humble Musings," where it was labeled as "The Very Best Potato Salad in the World." Red potatoes or thin-skinned Yukon Gold potatoes are really nice. It's better when it sits for a while, like most potato salads, and this recipe makes plenty for a crowd.

- Scrub and cube potatoes (peel them if you want-- I don't), then place in large pot with water to cover.

- Drain potatoes well.

HERBY POTATO SALAD WITH SMASHED OLIVES
As with coleslaw, there are two schools of potato salad: the mayonnaise-based and the vinegar-based. This recipe plants itself firmly in the latter camp with bright, punchy flavors. The dressing here is a classic red-wine vinegar and Dijon vinaigrette that develops great flavor after marinating with capers, smashed green olives and thinly sliced shallots. Just fifteen minutes in the dressing softens the shallot's bite, and a quick soak brings canned olives to life. There may appear to be too much dressing when you add the cooked potatoes, but as the potatoes cool, they'll absorb it beautifully. (The key is to add them to the dressing as soon as they are cool enough to handle.) Any small potatoes will work for this recipe, and a mix of colors looks particularly nice. The most important detail is that the potatoes should be roughly the same size so that they cook evenly.

Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a large pot; add 2 teaspoons salt and enough water to cover generously. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until just tender when pierced with a fork. (Be careful not to overcook!) Drain and set aside until just cool enough to handle.
- While the potatoes cook, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar and mustard with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the olives, shallot and capers, and set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
- When the potatoes are just cool enough to handle, cut them in half (or quarters, to end up with bite-size pieces), and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently combine and set aside to cool completely, tossing occasionally.
- Stir in the mint and parsley, along with more salt and pepper to taste, and serve the potato salad at room temperature.

ROASTED POTATO SALAD WITH JALAPEñO-AVOCADO DRESSING
As one of the most adaptable dishes, potato salad has withstood countless reimaginings. In this version, roasted potatoes are paired with two types of beans: Cannellini beans offer a hearty creaminess, while green beans add a welcome crisp-tenderness. If you have garlic or onion powder in your spice rack, use it to add some umami to the roasted potatoes. The avocado dressing is zingy and full of lively flavors; make it as spicy as you can handle, and if you are looking for more tanginess, substitute the mayonnaise with sour cream or crème fraîche.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan and add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic or onion powder (if using), and about ½ teaspoon of salt. Season with black pepper and toss to coat. Place in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile make the dressing: Combine avocado, mayonnaise, dill, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, 1 jalapeño and salt in a blender or small food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and if you want it spicier, add the second jalapeño.
- After 25 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and toss. Push the potatoes to one side of the sheet pan, and add the green beans to the other side. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender and the potatoes are golden on the outside and tender all the way through. Don't overcook the beans; if the beans are done before the potatoes are ready, remove them from the sheet pan and return the potatoes to the oven.
- Transfer the potatoes and green beans to a large bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add the cannellini beans along with half the dressing and toss to coat well. Taste and check seasonings, adding more salt and black pepper if needed.
- To serve, squeeze the lime halves over and scatter with dill leaves. Pass the remaining dressing on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Red Bliss or Yukon Gold, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when cooked.
- Cook the potatoes properly: Boiling the potatoes until they are just tender prevents them from becoming mushy.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil has a fruity flavor that will enhance the taste of the potato salad.
- Add the dressing while the potatoes are still warm: This will help the dressing to soak into the potatoes and create a more flavorful salad.
- Be generous with the herbs and spices: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and dill, add a lot of flavor to potato salad. Don't be afraid to use a variety of spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Let the potato salad chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
