With all of the yummy picnic food I can't believe I haven't
shared with you this recipe for BAKED POTATO SALAD yet which
among potato salad recipes is a definite must make for Summer
fare. I've got nothing against the plastic deli tub of various
salads but once you've had homemade you'll agree will there's
no comparison.

Enjoy!

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR HERBS:
If you don't plan on using your herbs immediately,
try any of the following techinques to store them:

1. Remove leaves and blanch in boiling water for three seconds
and refrigerate or freeze. The herbs will retain their nice
green color and stay fresh.

2. Puree herbs in a blender/food processor with your favorite
oil and refrigerate or freeze.

3. Puree herbs with a small amount of water and freeze in ice
cube trays. Store ice cubes in a plastic bag in freezer and
add to soups, etc.
