I've been running through potato salad recipes this last couple weeks.
I'm looking for different approaches to this hot weather staple.
Will you share yours?
Janet US

I love any kind of potato salad (or even a side of french fries) as long as there is a side of plenty of cut olives (with pimentos).

Ours was always simple. Potatoes boiled with jacket on. Then peeled,
cut, and dressed while a bit warm.

A bit of chopped onion, celery, bell pepper. Mayo with salt and pepper
for the dressing.

The potato salad that I make is totally awesome. Some people think it's the best potato salad they've ever had.

Let me guess: they've only ever had one?

It looks good and everything tastes better with mayo. Mayo is the real
ketchup.

that potato salad is quite attractive and eye catching. My mother
always had the leftover mashed potatoes for herself. She would mix
them with vinegar, chopped onion and whatever vegetable was available.
I always thought it was just a way to use leftovers but she really
enjoyed it. No Japanese descent, she was straight German background.
Apparently people across the world sometimes think alike. Thank you
for the recipe.

Thank you, I will try it that way. I made something similar last
week. The dressing had a bit of vinegar.

My mother and grandmother put sliced olives in their potato salad.
I find that people think that's weird, so I don't.

I wouldn't let "people" stop me, unless I'm married to them.

Why would you let a spouse stop you from eating what you
like? You can always make 2 versions.

green or black olives?

here green olives are standard in potato salad.

my own preference is that i do like both sweet and
dill pickle chunks along with the olives, but it is
really busy then. sometimes i prefer simple and none
of those three are added.

chopped raw onions, potatoes, boiled eggs and celery
along with the dressing is the most basic version. the
dressing is usually a mix of mostly mayo, some honey,
and a bit of mustard. i don't like celery seed in it.

i also don't really like cheese in it, but some
people do that (and i've had it where someone put
chunks of cream cheese in it which was different).

Is it too much effort?
Is it important to me?

But then you could always put a jar of olives on the table and have at
it!

That would do it. Same with Sheldon that can't eat his beloved
onions since his wife hates them. He could always add some to
his own plate.

Yes, I'd really miss onions.

My fav is All American Potato Salad from Cook's Illustrated:
https://www.food.com/recipe/cooks-al...o-salad-210719

Works well with less-floury potatoes than Russetts too. Just give them a little more time to soak up the vinegar.

That is indeed one of the "people".

Sometimes I add a few sliced olives to my serving, but it isn't
really the same as when they're melded into the salad.

To _me_ potatoes are one of those vegetables that do not turn out
well when canned.

Actually, both my mother and grandmother always made combined
potato-macaroni salad. No idea why.

I've never had potatoe salad with olives already there. I always had to have green, on the side, out of a jar. Black usually comes with pizza.

A friend of my wife used to use them to make roasted potatoes. It was
mainly for the aesthetics because they were all nice and round and equal
sized. They looked nice, but still ... canned potatoes.

Canned potatoes are the most disgusting food on the planet... I've
eaten them once in my life and I don't consider them food.
WTF is so difficult about boiling a few spuds, easier than opening a
can.
