Warm Potato Salad

This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Warm Potato Salad

Y'all hear me talk a lot about easy peasy lemon squeezy macaroni cheesy recipes. This one takes the cake. There aren't any lemons, macaroni, or cake in the recipe. To be clear. But it's all that!

This one is relatively new in my repertoire, but it's a keeper!

The life of an artist, at least the struggling artist, is fraught with bullshit jobs needed to just pay the bills and hopefully have a minute to actually make art. The best gigs I had were catering jobs. Hard work, but always in a different setting and usually with like-minded people.
