A Few Notes
Dress the potatoes hot. Cold potato takes up nothing.
Waxy potatoes, so the cubes survive turning.
No mayonnaise. It is not that kind of salad.
Keeping What's Left
Refrigerated for 3 days. Bring back to room temperature and refresh the lemon and parsley.
The Numbers per Serving
Per serving, calculated from the ingredient list with USDA FoodData Central figures (SR Legacy). A calculation, not a laboratory analysis: brands, cuts and how you measure change the real numbers. Sodium is not given, because the salt for the cooking water is in the ingredient list but most of it is poured away with the water, so no figure from the list would be honest. How the figures are worked out.
