We will definitely have burgers and hot dogs, probably potato salad, but I like to try a new dish or two on holidays. Gives me a good reason to go all out.
So what are you making? Are you keeping it totally traditional? Do you have a family fav that shows up at these events? Any out of the box suggestions or twists on an old favorite?
Okay, so hear me out: diced apple in your potato salad. My preferred variety is Macoun, with one apple per six potatoes or so, diced roughly half the size of the potato chunks. It brings a nice brightness and a little crunch that’s distinct from recipes that use celery. Spices usually used include paprika, chili powder, finely ground black pepper, and light salt.
