Nana’s Sweet & Sour Hot Potato Salad (serves 4)
Some childhood food memories can never be replicated. My mom’s potato salads, baked beans and jelly doughnuts are the first three that come to mind. This hot potato salad was one of her specialties and though she would often add bacon or boiled eggs, this very simple version is the one that I loved best and have tried to reproduce. I use just enough extra-virgin first cold-pressed olive oil to add a bit of depth to the dressing but you can certainly omit it and reduce the calorie count by 30 per serving. It’s also really good the next day, just let it come to room temperature before serving. It would also be great to add a couple of teaspoons of capers! ~ Glyn and Will
