The recipe is easy to follow, and the dish is easy to put together. I only had one qualm with the instructions: they don't say to turn down the heat once you bring the potatoes to a boil, and unless you want water all over your stove, this step is necessary. My potatoes, however, were done in the suggested 20-minute time period. Since my son doesn't like celery, I divided the recipe into two bowls, and only added celery to one. I added the pimentos to the top of the bowls just before serving as suggested, but will probably leave them out next time—though they do add a nice touch of color, it's such a small amount that they don't seem necessary. Overall, I agree with one of the author's taste testers: this dish does taste a lot like a twice-baked potato. [Joan Osborne] This is an interesting twist on potato salad.

I used top-quality smoked Gouda, which gave it a hint of smoky flavor. Instead of garnishing the salad with pimentos, since they’re unavailable here in Israel, I used julienne carrots to give it some color. Otherwise, I made the recipe exactly as written. Tip: Make sure to turn down the heat once the water comes to a boil. Any experienced cook would naturally do this, but it should be stated in the recipe. Also, keep the cheeses cold for easier grating. [Sue Epstein] This dish is a simple, delightfully different take on potato salad.
