SLICED POTATO SALAD
I got this from the Penzey's spice catalog. My family just loved it. Note: It calls for English Prime Rib Rub, which is a spice blend Penzeys makes. I mixed together equal parts ground celery seed, garlic powder, onion powder and sugar. Then measured out the 1-1/2 teaspoons of this mixture to replace the prime rib rub. It tasted great! If you do have this mix from Penzeys, omit the salt and pepper as the mix already contains it.

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, add herbs, salt, pepper, and fajita seasoning to the olive oil. Mix in mayo and mustard, then add the milk to reduce the thickness. Refrigerate. 2. Clean and slice unpeeled potatoes into disks. (Ideal thickness is ~1/8 inch / ~3 mm; a mandolin is helpful.) 3. Boil potato slices until *just* cooked. Drain very carefully and *gently* add cool water (so as not to break potatoes) to stop the cooking, then drain again. 4. Manually coat each potato slice with a little sauce (to avoid breaking them) and transfer them to a serving dish as you do so. Refrigerate and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when sliced.
- Slice the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender but still slightly firm.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: Some popular options include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, and bacon.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors meld together.

Sliced potato salad is a classic summer dish that is always a hit at potlucks and picnics. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect sliced potato salad that everyone will love.
