Canter's Potato Salad
Dear SOS: I am a big fan of the potato salad at Canter’s Fairfax in Los Angeles. I’ve tried several times to duplicate it with no success. Would Canter’s share the recipe?

Dear Lenette: “The recipe is made in large quantities fresh every day,” said Jacqueline Canter of Canter’s Fairfax, “so we don’t know if it will taste the same when made at home.” We made this version in our Test Kitchen and enjoyed it. I hope you do too.
Steam potatoes 20 to 25 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel and dice into 1/2-inch pieces. Cool.
Combine mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt and carrots. Mix well and fold into potatoes until well incorporated. Chill 1 hour.
