Potato Salad

  • 9 Replies

 We are having company on Sunday and the kids requested hamburgers and potato salad.  I'm pretty basic with my potato salad, just potatoes, eggs, green onion and mayo (with a little squirt of mustard.)

What do you do to make you potato salad different?  I have seen recipes with LOTS of things in it.  Do you add more stuff to yours?

I like your basic recipe.  I just add red & green bell peppers, yellow onion & a capful or 2 of vinegar.

I usually omit the mustard for my basic, but have added a sauce I make combining mayo & ketchup & it comes out pinkish for another variety.

 Yours sounds a little zippier.  My mom always made it plain so that's how I grew up liking it too...but I think my Mexican hubby would like more spice and zip to it.

 I put relish in macaroni salad.  In mac salad I DO zip it up a bit and put more flavors.

 I'd like the addition of the red and green peppers.  It would be a pretty salad too that way.

I also add red peppers and capers, sometimes olives, depending on how I feel.  Perhaps a bit of pancetta. Sometimes I make it with olive lir and vinegar, sometimes with mustard and mayonaisse.

 Wow!  That's one fully loaded potato salad!

I like capers!  :)  Good idea.
