Notes: May 1, 1997. "Many years ago, when I worked in Chicago, there was a sensational deli-style restaurant within a few blocks of my job. The name of this terrific restaurant was "Delish." They prepared a dynamite, creamy-style potato salad that I always found irresistible. The red skins were left on the potatoes, which made it even more delectable to my eye. The Chicago Sun-Times wrote about Delish in 1984. The one recipe they shared was for their potato salad. I was ecstatic, since I wanted to attempt to duplicate it at home. Flash forward 10 years. I open up my recipe box one day and discover a yellowed copy of Delish's potato salad. I immediately set about to prepare their salad with my new lean ways in mind. This recipe is the excellent result. The original had over 225 grams of fat in the entire recipe. My new version is almost fat-free. Yes!"
