This elevated riff on classic potato salad will be the talk of your next potluck. Chef Duane Nutter spruced up this must-have Southern side dish with the same flair and finesse that earned the attention of the James Beard Foundation no fewer than seven times.

The addition of store-bought smoked trout is his first trick; rich and salty, its mild flavor is the perfect partner for potato salad. Fancy fingerling potatoes, a homemade buttermilk dressing, and a generous amount of fresh herbs finish the job, with some hard-boiled eggs for good measure. Equal parts fresh and familiar, this recipe will turn heads in the best possible way.
