  • for a change try adding some curry powder to the mayo, before mixing it with the potatoes

    My version is to add sweetcorn & chopped spring onion to the mayo & potatoes, along with a quick dash of black pepper.

    Hi there,
    Having just fond and fell in love with this board, i thought it only fair to contribute back.
    I don't even like potato salad, but my sister in-laws sister used to live in russia and made this for me last year, i have been hooked ever since.
    It is perfect for using left overs and beleive me it has to be tried even if you think 'no' on first glance.
    We now eat it with chicken, pork etc, baked potatoes or new, and even when we just fancy a snack.

    recipe:
    new potatoes: as many or as little as you like.
    Gherkins ( i know yuk i hate them but in this they are wonderful and make all the difference).
    3-4 boiled eggs.
    Spring onions chopped.
    mayo

    and thats it, cheap, simple and tasteful.

    Boil the potatoes.
    Boil eggs.
    Once cooled chop into pieces.
    chop 3-4 pickled gherkins into small pieces.
    Chop spring onions into small pieces
    Add to a pan mix together and add mayo.

    Believe me it tastes a treat xx

    My Polish friend makes this too but she adds Kenyan beans to it!

    It's wonderful!

    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    They also make a version of this in middle eastern countries like Iran and Turkey. They also add boiled chicken to it. It tastes superb on its own or in a baked spud.

    Hiya!

    I am making potato salad (for 150 people!:eek: ). I have spent the last three hours cleaning, chopping and cooking said 20kg of pots!

    I have been asked to make half (10kg) as standard mayonnaise-potato-chives, the other half (10kg) as vinagrette-potato.

    Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how much mayo I will need for 10kg pots? (I am going to cheat and buy it, not make it!)

    How much/ which vinagrette for 10kg potatoes?

    tia
