Introducing the Ham Potato Salad, a timeless classic from Idaho Farm Bureau’s “Recipes from 1966”. This dish is the quintessential picnic meal, perfect for sharing with friends and family on a sunny afternoon. Made with simple yet delicious ingredients, the Ham Potato Salad is a great way to use up leftover Sunday ham, chopped into savory chunks and mixed with tender potatoes and tangy dressing. The secret to this recipe lies in marinating the potatoes in oil and vinegar before adding them to the dish, which infuses them with flavor and gives them a tender texture. To make this recipe even more special, we recommend using locally sourced ingredients from Idaho, such as fresh potatoes, locally cured ham, and crisp vegetables straight from the farm.   Recipes from 1966 IFB
