Put it in a dish, top it with a few slices hard boiled eggs, and sprinkle with paprika.


I just threw up a little in my mouth.

OP here. One of the reason why I don’t make or buy potato salad is that my husband and I both dislike mayo. This could be a potato salad that he would eat.

I can still get the store bought or restaurant version as a backup for the people who are coming who requested potato salad. I think they are into the traditional mayo based kind.

I appreciate all of the suggestions!


French potato salad using the Joy of Cooking recipe is what you want.

If you know of a NoVA restaurant that has good potato salad that they sell by the quart, please share the name.

Thanks!


You make potato salad ahead of time. You probably have time to make it.

I was recently at a BBQ and they had something called baked potato salad from Costco. It looked like vomit in a big plastic tub. No thanks. Please don’t serve this to people you like.

I agree with the Red Hot & Blue suggestion. It is so delicious.

Ina Garten has a recipe for a French potato salad that uses champagne vinaigrette that is also superb.

Both of these options, plus German potato salad, are worth the effort and calories. The rest, not so much.

German potato salad. The dressing is oil and vinegar.


Yeah OP I know that you have a hunch that these people prefer the Mayo kind, but I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like German potato salad and lots of people who hate the Mayo based one. I love all kids of potato salad but german potato salad is out of this world.

You can make good potato salad with good ingredients. But good farmers market small potatoes, veggies, higher end mayo, and lots of fresh herbs aren't exactly cheap. And the outcome is never that good, so why bother?

Good grief. Mayo doesn't cause food illness.


It may not, but it causes gas, diarrhea, explosive bowels and overall malaise.


It sounds like you need to see a doctor. That’s not normal.

That was pasta salad. Someone described it as vulgar back in 2013.


I'm on board. Any "salad" that contains mayo, egg, and onion as main ingredients is gross and low class.
