Red, White and Blue Potato Salad

Not your ordinary potato salad! This is what I love about cooking...taking a recipe that I've seen a million times, especially as a child in the summer, and adding something different to make it a whole new world.

Ingredients: 6-7 red bliss potatoes, 1/2 c. mayonnaise, 1/2 c. light/no fat sour cream, 1/3 c. blue cheese crumbles, squirt of lemon juice, scallions. The real "red" in the name comes from chopped bacon pieces so add if you like, but you can't call low fat anymore.

Directions: Wash potatoes thoroughly (you can keep skin on or not). Boil water and cut potatoes into small cubes. Boil until cooked soft (about 7 minutes). Drain and rinse in cold water for a few minutes. Mix in sour cream and mayonnaise, a squirt of lemon, chopped scallions, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Adjust ingredients according to taste- I prefer less "dressing" but others prefer adding a little cayenne pepper or tabasco for some kick.
