Potato Salad

Boil some potatoes.

Put some some rhubarb wine on the stove, reduce it in half.

While those things are boiling away, chop up a little shallot...


and scallions.





So tasty I could almost eat them. The scallions are from the Co-op. Who knows where they were grown but they were local. The shallots came from Craig's garden. You don't know how happy I am to have shallots in the house.

The potatoes are done. Time to take them out and chop them.



Then like so. You want them to be in firm little chunks that won't turn into mashed potatoes.



Do not be tempted to put potatoes that will just turn into mush into your salad. If you are like me, you can snack on these potato shmushes while you finish the salad.



Put the survivors in the bowl.



Remember those tasty shallots and scallions?



Throw them in the bowl, mix. But be gentle with it. No mashed potatoes.



Remember that wine your reduced by half? If you're like me you drank the other 3/4 bottle of wine just as soon as the chopping was done, in which case you might not remember. Here's a reminder:



Pour the wine in gently, like so:



Then put in some olive oil too, stir gently gently!



Hmmm. What else can I do?







And.... the finished product.







If you had a chance to taste it, let me know what you'd do different next time. Thanks. g-lo
