WARM OR COLD POTATO GARDEN SALAD
Really really tasty when warm and also yummy cold! You can half the recipe easily or double it! Haricot vert is French for green beans. Haricot meaning beans and vert meaning green. French green beans are longer and thinner than most American varieties. They are also more tender and have a more complex flavor. For the most part, they are interchangeable with American green beans which are also called string beans or snap beans. If you are unable to find haricot verts, substitute with the thinnest young green beans you can find. Made for the CrazeE contest 2009

Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a pot. Cover with water, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil. Cook about 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain, rinse under cold water.
- Meanwhile, bring another pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the haricots verts and zucchini for about 2-3 minutes, until beans turn bright green. Strain them and rinse and drain in colander with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- In bowl, mix mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, vinegar(s), black pepper, and tarragon until smooth. Use the larger amount for lots of creamy dressing.
- Peel potatoes, cut into bite size chunks(1/2"-1"),.
- Place potatoes, zucchini and beans, scallions, eggs, and parsley into a serving bowl and toss gently with mayonnaise dressing. Garnish with chopped chives and serve warm or cold.
- Note:.
- If serving cold the next day, make a little more dressing and add some in when ready to serve. The potatoes absorb alot of the liquid and the salad may be a little dry.

Steps:
- Scrub the unpeeled red potatoes under running water and cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Place in sauce pan with eggs and enough water to cover both by about 1/2 inch.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and boil for 11 minutes.
- Drain.
- Peel and chop hard boiled eggs and add to potatoes in a mixing bowl.
- Mix in mayo, using enough to coat all the potatoes evenly. Add mustard and stir to distribute.
- Salt and pepper to taste. I use a lot of salt. Serve warm within the hour or chill for later.
Tips:
- For the best potato salad, use waxy potatoes like red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes. These potatoes hold their shape well when cooked and won't get mushy in the salad.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender but not overcooked. Overcooked potatoes will break apart and become mushy.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before adding them to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light dressing for the salad. A heavy dressing will overpower the flavor of the potatoes.
- Add your favorite vegetables and herbs to the salad. Some popular additions include celery, onion, carrots, radishes, and dill.
- Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a bit of lemon juice or vinegar for a tangy flavor.
- Serve the salad warm or cold. Potato salad is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed either way.
Conclusion:
Potato salad is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a potato salad recipe that everyone will enjoy.
