LIME AND THYME POTATO SALAD
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed 1/3 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing 1/4 cup dairy sour cream 1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon snipped fresh thyme 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper Milk (optional, for moistening finished salad) Lime slices (optional garnish) Fresh thyme (optional garnish)
In a covered large saucepan cook potatoes in enough boiling salted water to cover for 10 to 12 minutes or just until tender. Drain.
Meanwhile, for dressing, in a large bowl combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime peel, lime juice, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked potatoes; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill for 6 to 24 hours.
TO SERVE: If the salad seems too stiff after chilling, stir in a little milk to moisten. If desired, garnish with lime slices and additional fresh thyme.
