Take this one outside! My grown-up recipe uses beer instead of mayo, so you don't need to worry about keeping it cool. It's a really popular recipe on my blog, girllikestoeat.com. —Jenny MacBeth, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fingerling or small red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • DRESSING:
