Potato Salad? I got to thinking tonight.....I love potato salad but I only like it when someone else makes it. I do make my own but it only ever turns out okay. If you make your own, what do you put in it? How do you cook the potatoes to be 'just right' ?

Re: Potato Salad? I peel and cube my potatoes prior to cooking and just keep an eye on it and try and drain them just undercooked i suppose. I just use plain mayonaise as my dressing and I add quartered hard boiled egg, spring onion - sometimes the red onion, chopped parsley and or some chives as well and thats it. I do put the mayonaise in while the potatoes are still warm as it mixes in a little easier then i just pop it in the fridge - looking forward to other peoples recipes as I love potato salad

Re: Potato Salad? Dad was German, and as such I have only really eaten German potato salad! Its very different from the Aussie Mayo based cubed salad... 6 boiled potatoes. peel after they cool down. Slice thinly, but so they dont break up. Cook 1 finely chopped onion in butter until caramalized. Put onion, 1 cup vegie stock, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons German mustard (or hot english) salt and pepper into saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 mins. Add the juice of 1 lemon to sauce when you remove it from heat. Pour sauce over sliced potatoes and cool. Toss, serve with added salt if needed. Its a bit trickier than normal, but very yummy!

Re: Potato Salad? wow Lisselle that is very different have to give that a go for sure. My recipe is generally the same as angies or I have an alternative for mum because she doesn't like mayonnaise and that is just salt, oregano and oil dressing.

Re: Potato Salad? Yum ladies! I do it the easy way... I buy the jar stuff, cube my spuds, boil them for 7 mins, drain & add jar stuff, a gazillion chopped spring onions (love 'em!!) , bacon & sometimes eggs. Then I polish it all off before it's indended use of dinner

Re: Potato Salad? I like the 'mayo' potato salad but I don't usually make that one myself. I usually peel & boil yellow potatos then I chop them up and dress them with a bit of olive oil , salt, paprika,a sprinkle of garlic powder, black pepper chopped chives, chopped boiled eggs, and black olives .

Re: Potato Salad? Wow - thanks so much ladies! They all sound so yummy! I must admit, I've never put eggs in my potato salad or bacon or olives so I might have to try that way and see what it comes out like. Felicity, the German way sounds so nice - I'll definitely have to try that one.
