Potato Salad

Cultural Context

Potato salad is a classic American dish often served at barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings. Its origins can be traced back to various European potato salads, but the American version typically features mayonnaise and hard-boiled eggs. This dish is versatile, with many regional variations incorporating different ingredients like bacon, pickles, or herbs.

1

Peel the potatoes using a potato peeler, peeling away from your body and hand.

2

Rinse the peeled potatoes under cold water to remove dirt or starch.

3

Chop the potatoes into approximately 1 cm strips, then cut into 1 cm squares for even cooking.

4

Place the chopped potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water, adding a good pinch of salt.

5

While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the sauce by finely dicing the red onion and capsicum.

6

In a bowl, combine 90 grams of sour cream, 50 grams of whole egg mayonnaise, diced capsicum, diced red onion, a pinch of salt, a good amount of pepper, 5 grams of stock powder, and mixed herbs.

7

Mix the sauce ingredients together and place in the fridge until the potatoes are done cooking.

8

Check the potatoes for doneness by inserting a fork; they should be tender but not falling apart.

9

Drain the potatoes well and run them under cold water to cool them down.

10

Add the cooled potatoes to the dressing and gently stir to combine.
