Good dish and will make again. I used fresh red pepper and added in the skillet with the onions. I also used 1/8 cup dry basil and added that with the garlic. Thanks! - 12 Nov 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I wasn't going to make this(recipe group) because DH does not like hot potato salad. But, had to make and post a photo. I had beans already cooked from something else, so I added them to the potatoes with some of my roasted red peppers, made some balsamic vinaigrette, and put it all together for a sampling and forgot the cheese. I was going to sub cream cheese, but totally left it out. Good flavor, I don't like a lot of balsamic dressing, too vinegary for me, but the longer this sat (and cooled) the better it tasted. I think it might even be good as a cold salad. The potatoes need some salt in there somewhere, unless it is picking it up from the goat cheese. Anyway, sorry about the cheese and thanks Linda! - 23 Oct 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I used fresh green beans, because they are lush right now and parboiled. Not a fan of goat cheese, so I used mild feta and the dish was great! Unfortunately, my camera seems to "ona break", mine looked much like the orignal picture! - 20 Oct 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
