Potato salad recipe is part of traditional American cuisine and is perfect for picnics and parties with friends. A salad made of celery and red onions adds crunch to these appetizers and seasoned with creamy mayonnaise and mustard flavored with dill.
My daughters’ favorite potato salad. They also like my regular potato salad, which differs from this one because we add tuna, corn, green olives and egg slices.
A salad rich in calories I give you, but delicious. The potatoes used are of firm flesh and a thin white crust, so we do not need to peel them. In general, Americans serve potatoes without removing the skin, and you can also use small red potatoes.
You will notice that in the ingredients we use curd, which will help soften the mayonnaise and add cream to our seasonings, and we can replace it with vegetable broth or a little vinegar, etc.
We can replace dill with parsley or add pickles or boiled eggs, there is no real recipe, please feel free to add your favorite vegetables or according to what you have in your fridge.
