Mexican Potato Salad
Ensalada de Papas MexicanaTaxco is filled with silver shops—and tourists. But, there's more there than just good shopping. At this memorable stop on the road between Mexico City and Acapulco you can enjoy the magnificent eighteenth century cathedral of Santa Prisca, steep winding cobblestone streets, a fascinating public market, mining history, and of course, great food. It was at lunch many years ago, at the Hotel De La Borda, that I had a potato salad like this for the first time. This recipe was one souvenir worth taking home.
