There are generally two types of people who volunteer to bring dishes to parties and potlucks. Either you like to make your fellow guests guinea pigs for new concoctions, or you have one slam-dunk dish that never fails to impress. (And you secretly love when people request it time and again.)
This potato salad could be the way you do a bit of both this summer. It’s got a bit of tang that separates it from bland, mushy potato salads of cookouts past, and the herby notes and smoked paprika give it surprising depth. It’s meant to be served warm but if you bring a cold version to an elegant picnic, you certainly won’t hear any complaints.

Is Dijon mustard a spice?
| Dijon is more than just a spice. It is a type of mustard that originated in a city in France with the same name. The two main ingredients in Dijon mustard are brown mustard seeds and white wine. However, in traditional Dijon mustard white wine is replaced with a special ingredient called verjuice. This gives Dijon an original flavor that cannot be found elsewhere. In France, verjuice is made from unripe grapes or sour fruit. When making your own Dijon, you can substitute verjuice with a white wine of your choice, white wine vinegar, or lemon juice. Honey Dijon is a popular version of this mustard and tastes delicious on sandwiches, salads, and pretzels. If you decide to make your own Dijon mustard, it keeps for up to a year in your refrigerator. Enjoy this delicious condiment with your favorite savory snacks! |
