Oh ok, thanks ladies. I thought it was just me. I really bailed after the olives . . . no, just no.

On the other hand, also in that link you provided to Ree's potato salad is Ina Garten's potato salad recipe with buttermilk and dill....great reviews and YUM!

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

@momtochloe I didn't see the show this morning but I read through the recipe. For a cold potato salad I would sub a classic vinaigrette or a Good Seasons type Italian dressing in place of the marinara sauce.

As far as the potatoes being boiled in 15 minutes the recipe lists baby potatoes--those really tiny, expensive ones--so that is a true time estimate. @depglass

As far as the marinara sauce with potatoes I would only do that with a hot dish recipe.

Her recipe is essentially playing with some typical Italian American ingredients and presenting her twist on some standard ideas.

I have put a little Kraft's Catalina dressing, for example, in one of my macaroni salad recipes and it was pretty tasty.

@KingstonsMom, Ina’s recipe does look good! I can’t have dill, but I don’t think I’d miss it. I wouldn’t like Ree’s. Adding bacon to potato salad is as wild as I get!

@Ruby Laine

Great minds think alike, LOL!

I've made Ina's recipe, had no fresh dill but added crisp, crumbled bacon just before serving.....delish!

Also, used fresh parsley for color, in place of the dill!

@KingstonsMom, parsley is a great idea. For some reason I’ve never tried it, but I will now.

Oldest DS's GF is Japanese. The Japanese Potato Salad has ham and veggies. DH loves it. I can't get used to it. I've tried it a few times.

@momtochloe - I definitely didn't think that potato salad looked or sounded good, and I'm a big fan of potatoes and pepperoni in just about any of their configurations. I actually made a face when she mixed together the mayo and the marinara; that just seems nasty. And when is Ree going to use the right bowl size for what she's putting together? She has dozens of bowls around her kitchen, but she always seems to pick one that is too small for mixing or tossing her ingredients. Oh, well...

@momtochloe Thanks for providing the link. Yes I agree that it sounds more like a pizza or a pasta salad. That being said, I may want to try this! I make a chicken salad with red wine, tomato sauce and mango chutny that gets requested all the time.

Hee @loriqvc oh that bowl! I mean I do it all the time but I'm an idiot in the kitchen. I thought the same thing. I was like, wow nothing is going very well in this segment is it? . . .
