-------- ------------ --------------------------------

Salad

1 1/2 pounds new potatoes -- (about 12)

1 bay leaf

2 tablespoons chopped onion

Savory Vegetables

2 tablespoons safflower oil or olive oil

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 clove garlic -- finely minced

1 teaspoon summer savory

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

Garnish: cherry tomato slices, or grated

Cheddar cheese mixed with chopped fresh

parsley -- optional

 

Fill half a large pot with water; over high heat, bring to a boil. Meanwhile,

scrub potatoes and cut into large cubes or thick

slices. Add to water with bay leaf, onion, and pepper. Simmer potatoes until

just tender, about 8 minutes. Remove bay leaf and

drain.

 

While potatoes are cooking, mix together dressing ingredients.

 

In a large bowl, toss dressing with warm potatoes. Top with garnish and serve

immediately. 4 to 6 servings.

 

Variations: Add other vegetables such as grated carrots or steamed cut green

beans.

 

Place in an oven-proof bowl, top with grated Cheddar cheese, and broil until

cheese is melted.

NOTES : Advance Preparation: To serve warm, prepare and serve immediately. To

serve chilled, prepare earlier in the day and

refrigerate.

 

Hints: When boiling potatoes, cut into cubes of uniform size so they will cook

at the same rate.

 

It is not necessary to peel potatoes for potato salad; potatoes eaten with their

skins have more nutrients. Scrub them well before

cooking; many potatoes are sprayed with chemicals to keep their " eyes " from

sprouting.
