An Accidentally Creamier, Fluffier Potato Salad

'Mashed potato salad seems like the kind of thing a person might make by mistake.

Perhaps, say, a well-meaning spouse overcooked the potatoes while you were drinking rosé on the deck of someone else’s summer house.

Then, maybe, you mixed together the salad ingredients a little too energetically, being overly animated from the conversation at hand.

By the time you looked into the bowl, the potato salad was, well, fluffier than intended.

What’s a hungry cook to do?

Change the name, and pretend you meant it to be that way all along.

And that is the origin story of this mashed potato salad.'>>>
