KNOWLEDGE ARTICLE
People often think mayonnaise is the cause of foodborne illness from chilled foods such as chicken, tuna and egg salad or when spread on bread with luncheon meats in a sandwich. However, because mayonnaise is made with acid (vinegar or lemon juice), it tends to prevent bacterial growth. Usually it's the meat, poultry, fish or eggs in a sandwich kept out of the refrigerator for more than two hours that is the medium for bacteria to grow.

Do you mean Rockland's? Agree theirs is pretty good. However, I love any and all potato salad (yes, even the stuff from Giant) as long as it doesn't have a lot of celery in it.

We did a taste test a few years ago of all local potato salads (minus red hot and blue) and Costco won.

I suspect Red Hot and Blue is just as good or better.

Anything with mayo-based needs to be kept cold but I'd bet store-bought is much more resistant to food-poisoning because of added preservatives.

Really? even the pre-made kind like at Giant? Reese or whatever that brand is? Personally, I like making it. It's really not as laborious as it seems--Ina Garten has a great recipe for a tarragon potato salad. But, yeah if you don't have time to make it, go with another side. Pasta salad is so easy using pre-made dressing.

Red Skin at CostCo is great.

Only Annapolis and Laurel, not sure about in Virginia.

I’m having company for July 4th, and they indicated that they would like potato salad on the menu. I don’t have time to make it. Which store bought potato salad is decent? If you know of a NoVA restaurant that has good potato salad that they sell by the quart, please share the name.

Thanks!
