Things I do well but not often enough: sing, ski, play tether-ball and make potato salad. Obviously, I would have been the queen of a musical theater summer camp…that took place in the middle of winter. This potato salad is the spicy answer to the kind my mom used to make. Serve it with burgers, hot dogs or grilled chicken.

- While potatoes cook, boil the eggs in a small pot filled with water. It should take 8-10 minutes. Remove eggs from heat, and peel under cold water. Leave in cold water until chilled.
- Chop potatoes and eggs coarsely and transfer to a bowl. Add scallions, parsley, mayonnaise, Sriracha, salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently until well-incorporated.
