Smashed Potato Salad. Best Tater salad I've had this side of St. Claires. I'll even share my recipe.

Smashed Potato Salad:

• 2 pounds new potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• ¼ cup minced onions
• ½ cup celery
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise or store bought mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Boil the 1/2 inch cut potatos, run them through a mill or grinder, you don't want them to be paste, but pretty close. Mix the rest of the ingredients for the coating, mix with potatoes, cool, and enjoy!

We need a Bourdain thread.

Did you catch his new show? I haven't yet, but someone told me it's online.

I did, and I enjoyed it. The filming is a little weird, but it's still a great show. And I love him, so as long as he's got a show on or another book in the works, I'm happy.
