potato salad

this is the recipe in consuming passions scaled down a bit. From what i can gather this is a typical type salad from America and very different from the average potato salad in the UK. Our shop bought version is just potatoes, sour cream with spring onions and chives. I loved this type.

I'm still having trouble uploading certain images I'm afraid.

But anyway here are the last two things i made for my down to earth dinner. The potato salad was from consuming passions, and was devoured by my boyfriend even though he says he doesn't like mayonnaise. The coleslaw was from the river cottage every day cookbook and was very refreshing due to the fennel involved in the mix.
