I came upon creating these recipes purely by accident. Having grown different colored potatoes for some years, it occurred to me the brilliance of combining them in a colorful array to suit any occasion. I have given several potato salads which you can vary according to taste and country. Please make sure you keep the salads refrigerated until serving time and do not re-serve any potato salad that has been left out in the sun.

Please note with some potatoes the skin is colored but the flesh inside, is not, it is important to select varieties of potatoes that are colored all the way through.
