Hhmmmm….. potato salad is one of my favorite salad. For me, I will add in some bacons or salami and mix with the potato, the taste come out very great !! In Jap restaurant, usually they will serve this potato salad with shredded cucumber and a little wasabi…… they even came out potato salad with inari beancurd as a sushi….

Have any of you guys tried a Danish potato salad with curry? It’s really the best and goes so well with grill meat or steak.

Danish potato salad – there’s no measurements because it is really all about how much of a curry taste you would perfer and how smoothe the dressing is.

4 persons:
boiled potatoes – big enough portion for 4 persons
1 onion finely grated
1-2 table spoon chives
1/3 Mayo – i find that a light version is okay
2/3 Crème fraiche – also light is okay
Season with salt, black pepper and curry – start with one table spoon and adjust.

It dosesn’t hurt to make in at least an hour before serving just to let the taste settle. And then remember to stir and taste it just before serving as it might need more salt and curry.

Enjoy!

Patti, I wonder if it’s a regional thing. I have good friends from Germany and they tell me that although German potato salad is mostly known to be vinegar-based, in northern Germany, the potato salad does have mayo. (I happen to like them both ways!)

It’s funny how Americans seem to be convinced that German potato salad doesn’t have mayo in it – I can honestly say I’ve never seen a mayo-less potato salad in Germany, ever, neither in the stores nor at potlucks or other byof-type gatherings.

Don’t like pickles/relish/juice in mine. I make one that I saw Dallas Cowboys’ tight end Jay Novacek make on early morning news show (his mom’s recipe) and everyone loves it. Many say it’s the best they’ve ever had.

my recipe was to cook the potatoes, eggs and chop the onion and take those and the other ingredients down to Diane so she could make it. Mine always was not quite right and hers delicious. easy peasy.

My mom’s secret ingredient, in addition to the mayo, mustard, onion & dill pickle diced finely, salt and pepper, is a tablespoon or two of Catalina French dressing. Doesn’t make it sweet, but somehow it wakes up the other flavors! Oh, and celery & celery seed.

i like to use both the pickles and the juice from Vlasic’s *zesty* bread & butter pickles in mine, and plenty of sweet onion and celery, both diced very small. also, i like to take some of my dressing and toss the potatoes in it while the potatoes are still warm. not a lot of dressing–just enough to coat them lightly and let the flavor infuse the potatoes, not so much that they become mushy. then i chill the potatoes before adding the rest of the ingredients and the rest of the dressing.

Thanks for running this – I’ll show it to my son. He and his dad are partial to baked potato salad and deviled egg potato salad.

With all these varieties we can mix up different combinations of ingredients and create one we really like.

Thanks again.
