There is no standard potato salad

I think it all depends on if you put dill or sweet pickle in it.

Mustard

Mayonnaise don't make salad

Well, it wasn't until recently that I discovered people put pickles in potato salad. I don't. I wonder if it's kind of a regional thing.

I use both. The dressing I make is mayo (eggless), mustard (Dijon), balsamic vinegar and sugar.

This may seem like late night idle chit chat but it's important. Mt dear friend, TXP, told me how one makes potato salad in Texas is worth fighting over.

German potato salad...but with a southern twist

Instead of bacon use fatback or salt port. Go heavy on the vinegar

feta, olives, cucumber, red peppers, spices, oil

Or a standard potato salad with sour cream and lots of chopped parsley?

I know quite a few people who like German potato salad. I'm a vegetarian, though, so wouldn't eat it. Also not crazy about too much vinegar which is why I use balsamic in my own (milder).

I don't know! It's whatever you like. The first one sounds like Greek feta salad but with potatoes? I think I'd just prefer the usual Greek w/o.

lol

There are five "related threads" on potato salad below this one.

Maybe mashed potato mixed with mashed sweet potato backed in the oven with one stick of sellery in the middle?

I think you need more vegetables than that to qualify as a "salad", lol. Though potatoes are a vegetable but don't count in this context.

What did your mother put in it?

Wrap bacon around small balls of sweet potato mash, then cook it in sesam oil lol

That's why I generally don't like potato salad. Every one you have is different.

I think some general ingredients: Potatoes (no shit), mayonnaise, yellow mustard, then you've got the herbs, like dill and other things.

I like it with a thin dressing on it, not thick and glotular.

Or wrap slices of aubergine around meatballs then put a stick through it to hold the aubergine slice in place, then cook the meatballs in tomato soup for 15 minutes

Sauerkraut.

Potato with crushed walnuts and green apple cubes....yummo....with whatever extras you like

There is a rebel army that is demanding Mustard.

Mayo, eggs, Usually skinned potatoes. green tomato relish.

Deviled eggs as a frame.

Would that be sort of a Waldorf potato salad?

I use Dijon mustard in the dressing but it's not overwhelming. I've had some PS that is super mustardy and don't like it.

For reasons my mind can't even understand or make sense of at the moment. This is one of the most offensive posts I've ever read on glp since the start.

I feel like a liberal. Thanks a lot OP

Never thought about it before.. i need to find/make a rustic type roasted red potato salad, but with the boiled egg chopped in there also.

Do you dislike pizza because there are so many different types? That's a weird reason to dislike potato salad.

lol

You take 1 cabage head, and chop it up finely
You take one mason jar fill it with water, add alot of salt until you cant drink the water (salt water)

You put the cabbage in the jar so it is completely submerged under the water, put a stone or other heavy object on the top of the jar so it presses down on the cabbage and helps keep it submerged.

wait three weeks.
wash it all, get most of the salt out, there will be a good salty taste left with amazing aromas because of the fermentation process and the enzymes working.

Your "saur kraut" is ready

Good point!

I'm making some tomorrow. I always put green bell pepper in it and the grocery store was wiped out of them so I bought a red bell pepper which I'll be using. Never done that before and feel kind of queezy about it, lol.

No vinegar goes in it? I've never eaten it because I don't like the smell but my parents loved it.

Who ever puts celery in potato salad should be shot.

Same method also works with several other vegstables
What you are refering to is probably "pickled" vegstables like the mini cucumbers, redbeets, onions, eggs, all that has just soaked a winegar sugar mix.

I've never made any of that stuff. My mom did (pickles, beets and saurkraut). Then there's pickled vs fermented. But, this thread is about potato salad.
