Critique
Chef: Perfect potatoes, nice cut and soft texture, but not mushy, nice dressing, good crunch from the ppers, didn't get the same vinegar taste as with other salads

Personal/Team: We omitted pickles form out salad for personal preference, but I would have liked them more. I liked the look and overall taste in the dressing. e also added some bacon grease to the potatoes for more flavor.

Lessons Learned: Another student mentioned soaking the potatoes in vinegar to give them a little more flavor and I think that is a good idea. Also, after the potatoes are cooked, letting them cool and then tossing with the dressing lightly is the secret to not having them get mushy and fall apart while mixing.
