Sounds yummy! What kind of potatoes do you use? The ones that stay firm after cooking?
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, the potatoes can be red or any kind that you desire to use for this recipe. I hope you enjoy and happy cooking.

Oooooo, Julie....it's like a potato salad and green bean salad combined! I do enjoy a mayo-based potato salad, but I also like them vinegar-based too. This looks lovely; saw it on #GetHimFed :)
