My first experience of potato salad was when my folk dance group had a party back then in 99' may be (don't remember exactly) and we had people visiting us from France and they had arranged a potluck for all of us. It was an exchange program, through which they were in India for some time. They had everything vegetarian stuff arranged , so nicely and although half of us didn't know what the dishes were , we were very excited to eat. They had even brought some kind of cheese, the baby belle types which initially I and my tinsy winsy friends thought was chocolate , as that was what we really wanted. But, then I got to try the potato salad, the only things I remember still today is that it had some red onions and creamy dreamy dressing. And, I thought it is so simple but yet delicious. And, my foodie mind started thinking about the ingredients. Although I didn't know exactly whether that was a potato salad or not. But, I was foodie then also and all my kitchen disasters years, so later on I found out it was a potato salad. Everything was wonderful in that potato salad. But, years later now I feel like adding some spice to the regular potato salad and enhance the dish with harissa. The coriander and heat n harissa makes it really delightful. I have cheated by using a store-bought harissa in olive oil. So, here is my version of potato salad with Harissa.
