I was looking at Chow.com this morning and found some links to various
potato salads. This one sounded interesting enough to try
http://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/al...c-5c7704a7146c
After that I followed a link to a sweet potato salad made with a
citrus vinaigrette, then Google suggested sweet potato salad with a
mustard vinaigrette. Thinking I want to make a "different" kind of
potato salad before summer and my motivation to do that disappears.

Do you ever experiment or do you stick with the potato salad everybody
likes best? I don't make it very often, so I tend to be a
traditionalist. By that, I mean I make my version of my mother's
recipe (and my children make their variations of mine).

I always make different ones and never make one that everyone likes. My dad
never liked mine. Said it had no flavor, no matter what kind I made. They
did have flavor but what they were missing was egg. My mom always put egg
in hers but I felt that hers had no flavor. I think she put Miracle Whip in
hers. But she used little in the way of seasonings. I always thought that
I hated potato salad until I tried some others.

One of my favorites was just sliced potatoes with lots of sliced onions and
a vinaigrette type dressing. But nobody else liked it. More recently I
have been doing roasted with bacon. Here is the basic recipe and then I
will tell you how I modified it.

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Roasted...r_results_p1i1

Based on reviewers suggestions, I coated the potatoes with Dijon mustard
before roasting. Oooh the flavor!!! I also added more celery and onion
and did not add the egg. I did put bits of egg on other people's portions
as a garnish but left them out as I couldn't eat them. Angela did not like
this at all but husband and I loved it.

Just curious what mayo would have to do with picnics? From what I've read,
mayo keeps food safe.

Really? You have to ask why mayonnaise might go rancid in hot weather
at a picnic? Oh, sorry, I forgot. Sheesh.

there's a German pub around here that serves a slightly orangy-pink
potato salad ... I'm not sure if they just added ketchup to standard
mayonnaise type p.s. but it tastes pretty good despite the color

Sometimes I experiment. Or use tested variety. Mustard dressing, with sliced olives. Sometimes lots of garlic, sometimes none or little. Bacon, no bacon. Artichoke hearts. Capers. Tomatoes: fresh, sun-dried.

Jill's posts have been so stupid lately that she's making *you* look
smart by comparison. This NG has gone wacky in the past week or two,
with Steve and Marty sounding like the sensible ones, and some of the
rest of you seeming bonkers.

I don't know about mayo keeping food safe (probably not), but I've
never had a problem with potato salad taken to picnics even in hot
weather. You keep it in a cooler until eating time, plus it takes
several hours to go bad. Even a couple of hours later, the mayo
products haven't turned rancid. This is just a scenario in peoples
minds.

Adding ketchup to mayo is a good taste to me. I use that combo for
salad dressing whenever I have tomato-based pasta (spaghetti, lasagna,
etc). The salad and dressing is on the same plateas the pasta so you
can get some of each flavor in every forkfull. :-D

LOL.... seems that you are taking potato salad way over the edge
there.

Freshly made mayonnaise with raw egg yolk (real food) might be problematic,
but that shelf stable wino beatoff out of the jar would take hours to go off.

Right and she was talking about commercial mayo. If she used Just
Mayo, which contains no egg - there would be no problem other than the
usual you'd have with unrefrigerated food in general.
