Hi Mary Ann, do you have an alternative to microwaving the potatoes b/c I don’t have one and I want to try this salad?

You can just boil the potatoes whole in the jackets, standard recipe style. Maryann just started the segment saying how she hated boiling potatoes so she developed this method.

Ca you use dried oregano as a substitute for fresh?
