Cracker Potato Salad, Benne & Scallion

📝 Notes: Also known as: Old Florida Potato Salad · Miz Kathi's Benne Potato Salad The concept: Classic: house Potato Salad (already on the pantry list). Vector: Substitution (toasted benne seed folded in at the end, extra scallion added) — a light-touch variant that gives the line a second potato salad option without a new base recipe or new equipment. Hero ingredient: Toasted benne seed, folded in at the very end so it stays crunchy against the creamy potato base. Components: House Potato Salad — use existing house recipe as the base, unmodified through assembly. Plating: Serve chilled in a bowl, benne seed and scallion visible scattered on top. Pro upgrade: toast the benne seed with a pinch of smoked paprika for a warmer color and aroma against the potatoes. Prep efficiency: base potato salad batches and holds per existing house standard; the benne/scallion fold is a same-day, pre-service step only. Cross-utilization: shares the exact base recipe, boil, and mix process as house Potato Salad — this is a garnish-level variant, not a new dish. Failure modes: folding benne in too early turns it soft and loses the entire point of adding it — always fold within 2 hours of service. Scaling: Scales exactly as the house Potato Salad recipe already scales — see that recipe's batch notes; benne seed addition scales linearly with no adjustment needed.
