Warm Mustard Potato Salad

I read on a blog somewhere a long time ago about an idea of allowing kids 5 items that they don't care to eat.  Anything else they have to at least try.  Here's the thing, I need about 10 items for myself.  My husband and I have had discussions about how broad the list items can be.  For example, can you say fish is one of the items, or do you have to be specific, like Salmon.  I have since made an executive decision.  As the mom, my list can be broad.  However, kids won't have that kind of levity.  And, yes, I can do that, 'because I said so."  I also don't want Lilly (and any future minis) to be as picky as I am, so I'm really just guiding them in good life choices.  Right?  Without further ado, my list of 5 despised foods:

1.) Fish

2.) Onions

3.) Raw Tomatoes

4.) Beans (except for green)

5.) Mayo

Because of my mayo aversion, potato salad has always been a no-no.  But, hubby likes it, so I finally found a good delicious compromise.  

 Steam 2-3 yellow flesh potatoes over 1 inch of boiling water. Until just fork tender (took 12 minutes for me).

In a seperate bowl, mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard.  Add hot potatoes.  Grate one hard boiled egg using a large holed box grater over top.  (Yes, isn't this genius?  It's from Everday Food Magazine--isn't Martha a genius)  Sprinkle with coarse salt and fresh ground black pepper (to taste).  Toss to combine.  

Serve warm or at room temperature.
