History of Potato Salad
Originating in Europe, particularly in France and Germany, potato salad was initially a simple dish made with boiled potatoes, vinegar, and oil, often served warm.

The introduction of mayonnaise in the 18th century marked a significant turning point, as this creamy dressing became common in many variations of the dish.

As European immigrants brought their culinary traditions to the United States in the 19th century, potato salad underwent further transformation, incorporating local ingredients such as celery, onions, and hard-boiled eggs.

Regional variations emerged, with Southern-style potato salad often featuring mustard and sweet pickles, while New England versions might include bacon or even seafood.

Today, potato salad is a favourite side dish at barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings, showcasing the adaptability of this humble dish and its ability to bring people together across different cultures and generations.

What is Potato Salad

Potato salad is a salad dish made from boiled potatoes, usually containing a dressing and a variety of other ingredients such as boiled eggs and raw vegetables.

In American restaurants, it is generally considered a side dish, and usually accompanies the main course.

This recipe for Potato Salad makes use of Lemon and Chive to add a citrus kick and in the video I have used baby new potatoes with the skins on.

I like to mix this cold salad with a spicy 'Sweet Chilli Chicken', the contrast between the Hot & Cold works so well.
