  1. I love this simple recipe, it looks very tasty, and the way Jacques peeled the cooked potatoes was a helpful technique to learn!

  2. JP comes through so often. His demo's with no fancy equipment most people don't have. No impossible to find ingredients. No multiple hours or days of preparation. JP is simple, yet masterful.

  3. Wow, this rocked. Best potato salad I ever had. The chef hasn't failed me in more than 30 years of doing his recipes. The ingredients are easily adjusted to get the tang that you want. This ranks up there at the top with his Charles De Gaul leg of lamb. Or his chicken thighs with a cognac and mushroom sauce. And this was just a potato salad!😋

  4. Aw i love this precious man, appreciate his simple and genius approach in all his creative recipes. Mayogrette: genius! 😋😍

  5. He's always been closer to "real" people and I guess thats why he felt more comfortable in the usa than in France. No frills.

  6. I find it disturbing when he tastes the food with his fingers then puts his fingers back into the food. Not appealing to me.

  7. I love JP. His studio is in his home in Madison CT. I grew up close by and was friendly with the 5 kids who lived there back in the day.
    I was at the home many times. Just old memories but still alive thanks to JP.
