(From the 4th of July Camping Menu)
This is a simple potato dish that everyone loves. It's attractive and addictive and it just happens to be vegan. Because olive oil is used rather than mayo, this keeps well on a camping trip or cook-out. Use a thin-skinned potato of any kind - as long as it doesn't have that thick, rough skin that baking potatoes have, it'll be great.
