Even the pickiest eaters will usually eat potatoes, and as a young child, I was no exception. I wouldn’t, however, touch potato salad until just last year — something about cold potatoes mixed with mayonnaise seemed icky to me.

Now, in the dead of winter, I find myself craving potato salads — odd, considering it’s a food normally associated with summer barbecues. Luckily, the ever-reliable Stone Soup — a blog in which each recipe is no longer than five ingredients — comes through.

These three recipes for potato salad all sound like winners to me. Better yet, the blog offers a huge number of variations, including ways to turn these salads into an entree-sized meal. Not a bad deal in these budget-strapped times.
