Summer is potato salad weather for me. This is a new one.

2-1/2 lbs waxy potatoes, cooked, peeled, and cut. Use your favorite potatoes. I leave the skin on.
2 large hot pickled peppers, cut in rings (I use jalepanos)
1/2 C oil-cured olives, quartered (they have pits, but I managed)
4 green onions, sliced
1 C mayo
1 T mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried thyme, crumbled basil, and fennel seed (I used Italian spices)
1/2 tsp anise seed, cayenne pepper, and fresh ground pepper (I only had ground pepper)

Use your imaginations and it'll be great.

Sounds great! I haven't had potato salad in a while. It's not something we usually make. When my partner gets home, I'll try to remember to ask him to make it.

What an unusual sounding potato salad but also what a delicious sounding potato salad. I am going to try it maybe on Sunday. I think I would take the time however to pit the olives first. I believe they sell already pitted olives somewhere .

Chatty, I think all oil-cured olives come with pits, but it's easy to peel off the skin. They're a bit pricey, but worth it and one bottle is good for 2-3 salads.

I've been told it's good with the cheaper, pitted olives, but I think it will taste different.
