  1. This potato salad tastes great and is easy to prepare. I added two of the optional items: goat cheese and toasted pine nuts. I did have to add some more salt after the veggies were done cooking. And what an easy method for roasting garlic! I will keep this in mind for the future. Thanks MNLisaB!
