In reply to pumpkin061. Potato, rosemary and garlic is a winning flavor combination, for sure! Thank you, Jill.

Grace,

Sticks DO have magical powers when they are used as cooking implements! Think roasted marshmallows! 🙂

it’s just a fact that food on a stick tastes better. i’m not sure why, but in my experience, it just happens magically. 🙂

Ann,

I didn’t use vegetable peelers, either, for a long time. Instead, I used a paring knife. Now I have a good vegetable peeler that works like a charm! 🙂

Mary,

Thanks for the comment about the picture. I finally broke down and invested in a “big girl camera” so I could improve the quality of my photos. I felt that my food photography lagged well behind my writing and recipe development. I hope you will start to enjoying my food photos!

It’s always good to hear from you, Mary!

That’s some great sounding recipe, and the picture looks fantastic. Can’t wait to give this a try!!! I don’t care if the potatoes are “perfect” just as long as they are on the table. lol A meal is not a meal without some kind of potato! And, how right you are…..memories are truly sweet blessings! Have a great week. Thanks for sharing!!

I always seemed to have trouble peeling potatoes, but we didn’t have one of those fancy potatoe peelers like they make now – mine were much smaller when I was done! Love the rosemary idea, will have to check that out!

The potatoes look yummy : ) I liked the memory of your Mother peeling her potatoes. Pap always told me he’d hate to be stranded on an Island with me-because I waste to much tater with the peel : )

In reply to Jean. Jean, I often wonder why we got away from eating potato salad hot.

We ate it hot also….but then leftover was cold…..UGH! I tend to like more uncomplicated things too.

In reply to Jean.

Jean,

Potato salad is such a big part of our Southern culture. My family ate it hot instead of cold. It would more than likely be part of every big celebration or meal that we enjoyed. I never grew tired of it but I’ve come to realize that I like my rustic version over a more complicated version. 🙂

Yeah, I’m cursed with the “Perfect Potato” syndrome…I also have to clean up as I prep and cook…wash my hands about 50 times…wipe the counters down…wash dishes as I go, then serve up the meal, eat and clean up the kitchen, put up the left overs and leave the kitchen clean before I can sit and enjoy myself!!! Crazy!!
