FRENCH POTATO SALAD

Here's an easy-to-make potato salad that features a fresh, zippy tarragon dressing instead of the traditional mayonnaise. This is one of my husband's favorite recipes. I like to bring along a large bowlful for picnics, potlucks and backyard barbecues.-Cheryl Ruhr, Brookfield, Missouri

PARMENTIER (FRENCH-STYLE) POTATO SALAD



Parmentier (French-Style) Potato Salad image

In France, a man called Parmentier is credited with popularising potatoes. This is why any dish with his name in is likely to contain potatoes. This is another recipe which I have adapted from a 'Pan or Wok' recipe card from International Masters Publishers.
