Baby potatoes have a naturally sweet flavor and creamy texture that's delicious in this classic potato salad recipe. Even better, they hold their shape better than cut-up full-size potatoes, and there's no need to peel them. A touch of scallions and parsley make this version especially tasty. Make it as a simple side for your next backyard barbecue or summer picnic. More Recipes: Potato Salad Recipes, Summer Sides
