Savory Bacon Potato Salad
Thursday Throwback
Savory Potato Salad with Bacon
This recipe was based loosely on my husband’s favorite potato salad from Lunardi’s. I say loosely, because I have only had it once or twice, and not recently. So I just gave it a shot. The key is using some of the bacon grease in the dressing mixture.

Asparagus and Fontina Pizza with Aioli
Asparagus, Fontina, and Aioli Pizza
I had some, ok a lot, of extra aioli from making Tuna Tartines from Thomas Keller’s Bouchon cookbook, so I took a stab at making a pizza bianco (white pizza). I think it’s one of the best pizzas I’ve made so far. While I’m usually not one to jump at a pizza with a white sauce, I’ll definitely be making this one again soon!

Aioli
Aioli
Aioli is a garlic mayonnaise. For a nice rich aioli, make your own from scratch. However, this does require using raw eggs. If you need to avoid raw eggs, make the aioli with store bought mayonnaise. It’s great as a sauce, condiment, or dip. Spread it on sandwiches, use it as a dip for fresh steamed artichokes, or as a sauce on pizza (more to come on that tomorrow).

Chipotle Mayonnaise
This sauce is great as a light topping to fish or shrimp tacos. It also works well as a spread for a turkey or chicken sandwich. Or, try it as a dip for French fries.
