We will definitely have burgers and hot dogs, probably potato salad, but I like to try a new dish or two on holidays. Gives me a good reason to go all out.

So what are you making? Are you keeping it totally traditional? Do you have a family fav that shows up at these events? Any out of the box suggestions or twists on an old favorite?

I make a layered potato salad which is almost a meal in and of itself. For those of us with potato-land heritage, this isn’t a side dish: It’s way of life.

Potatoes, Mayo, mustard, pickles, hard boiled eggs, dill, chopped red onion, and pickle juice on the bottom. A layer of sliced hard boiled eggs. A layer of crumpled bacon. Another layer, same as the bottom one. Top it with deviled eggs, thin red onion slices, dill, and sliced olives.

It should be heavy enough that the table groans before it even touches it.
