It will soon be time to dig up the spuds. Depending on the variety you have selected, you’ll get different sizes. For today’s recipe, you want to pick out some small and medium ones. Eating “new” potatoes is a huge treat and so is this Warm Potato Salad. It is lifted out of the ordinary with the dressing you will make and is a French technique for creating a great dish.
