Easy to do, tastes upscale
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used arugula, instead of watercress, and broiled potatoes and quail instead of grilling; even so, the presentation was... beautiful, and the tastes were phenomenal...way to go Bobby...Read more

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this potato salad twice... both times got rave reviews. The second time I used arugla instead of watercress,... which I like at least as well and was much less work. I also used red wine vinegar with 2 tsp of honey in place of the sherry wine vinegar, as recommended by a previous reviewer. Additionally, to change things up a bit I added some bacon to the leftovers. It was tasty!Read more

FABULOUS SALAD!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't make the quail; I was looking for a recipe with grilled potatoes when I found this. I'm not much of a cook but... wanted to make something impressive for a birthday dinner with my super-foodie family members. Everyone RAVED about this dish. They both asked for the recipe & wanted to know who the FN chef was. Thanks, Bobby Flay, I gained some respect this week! I will definitely make this potato salad again & again.Read more

Superb!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Fantastic blend of flavors wrapped up in a warm potato salad. Oh - and I just mix everything together at the same time... instead of the 2-step process described in the recipe. I don't mix up but what I will eat, so I always have leftovers. Just re-heat the potatoes in the microwave! TIP: If you don't have Aged Sherry, add 2 tsp of honey per 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar (per bobby Flay's book recipe)Read more

Excellent dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

While this salad does take a little time to prepare, with the boiling of potatoes and grilling, it is well worth the effort. ... It is not only delicious but looks beautiful when plated. Yum!Read more
