Where's the Simple Potato Salad Recipe?

MATH

I don't make propper potato salad but a sort of slapped together cheats version. I cube a couple of tatties, leaving the skin on for fibre. Cook until only just cooked through and toss with chives and agood dollop of salad cream and a good dollop of may. Finally I season with pleanty of cracked black pepper.

I use the half salad cream half mayo combo for loads of things including pasta salad and egg mayonaise

The two basics of potato salad are potatos and mayonaisse anything else is a bonus! I like sliced pots (not cubed) with savoury mayo - salt pepper and a bit of Maggi sauce, you can add chopped egg, bits of onion, chives, diced gherkin, diced peppers, the list is endless. Oddly enough the cheapo tinned potatos from Lidl, Aldi, etc seem to my taste to make the best Pot Salad as they are so waxy. Wean him onto Pasta Salad next (same mix but with pasta instead of pots) then try Meat (Fleisch) salad with strips of luncheon meat and peppers. Gotta stop as I'm starting to dribble now!

Hi

Usually make potatoe salad with left over new potatoes with skins on. Just cut in quarters, then add mayo and salad cream and some chilli powder :eek: when serving on plate, normally sprinkle bacon bits on top...scrummy

Hi

We have an older thread on potato salad so I'll merge the two together for you. Since posts are listed in date order you'll need to read from the beginning to catch up with us all

All these recipes for potato salad sound delicious and i normally use salad cream as the children find mayo too rich.

I find all-mayo potato salad a bit rich too, so I mix in some plain yogurt, adding it bit by bit & tasting as I go along till it seems right. any plain yogurt works, from the cheapo low fat ones (I'm thinking Lidl) to the creamy greek ones if you're feeling indulgent

I have a recipe for German Potato Salad.

Just added to the recipe to the MSE Recipe Thread

Inserting my two pennyworth - I echo Swan - I mix half mayo and half natural yogurt and add enough to coat cooked potato. Then add either chives or spring onions. Find it tastes lighter than all mayo and is v. healthy!

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone has a recipe to make this at home.
Nothing fancy but i have some potato's that need using up so would like to make some to go with our chicken and salad tonight>

I will also be using the left over chicken to make chicken soup. Hopefully it'll go better than last time!!!
