The recipe of the day: Potato salad
Hello my dear Steemians,
Today it is a time for some homemade food. One of the favourite dish and also traditional for Christmas or new Year is so called potato salad. often it is something that you can even eat with some bread or any meat without hot dish. That is why it is once prepared and kept in fridge it could be eaten for next 2-3 days.
That is a reason why I wanted to share with you and to talk you through of my preparation.
So to start with we need to cook following, as I wanted to prepare small amount of salad:
two potatoes
two eggs
I put them together in cooking water and boil for 10 minutes of eggs and 20 minutes of potatoes.
Once the potatoes and eggs cooked, I peeled off skin from potatoes and clean the shells of eggs.
The eggs I cut into small cubes and the same I did with potatoes.
I have then cut about 5 small pickled cucumber and also about 30 g of chicken sausage.
The I add mayonnaise usually "Heinz" mayo, I find the taste of it the best when preparing this salad. The just mix up altogether.
When I read the title I knew exactly what to expect, we also have this in Romania usually used during holidays/events as something cold and quick to grab. In our case it comes in different recipes, some people also add carrots, green beans or even peas. And for the mixture sometimes some mayonnaise.
My grandma does it like you did, but instead she uses beef and homemade mayonnaise.
Glad to see it here, I thought it's something specific for my country and maybe it's neighbors.
Home-made mayonnaise might be the best alternative :)
Gutfried von Deutschlands 🇩🇪 führendem Gockelmann 🐓 es gibt wohl nur wenige Schlachthöfe in Deutschland, Luxemburg und der Schweiz in denen ich noch nicht war und wenn Du jetzt gerne einen Tipp hättest kann man immer nur den Metzger um die Ecke empfehlen, bei einer Geflügelwurst wird das aber wohl nicht so einfach sein den die gibt es wohl nur selten in klein und um die Ecke , obwohl Gutfried war ja früher bei Dir um die Ecke , sozusagen ein Stück Zuhause 🏡 für Dich , aber auch für mich ist das schwer geworden als Viehhändler und gelernter Metzger beim Rind und Schwein sind wir oft das Bindeglied zwischen Landwirt und Schlachthof so weis ich was der Landwirt füttert und düngt und welche Rase Tier er hat , beim Geflügel habe ich zufällig einen Schulkollegen der Geflügel schlachtet und verarbeitet aber ob der Brühwurst macht weis ich nicht einmal
Sorry für den langen Kommentar aber mir war gerade danach das mal los zu werden schöne Tage wünsche ich euch und lasst euch das Stück Heimat schmecken

Hello @stef1 😙😙
Your potato salad recipe brought back so many warm memories of festive meals with family and friends. This classic dish is truly a perfect addition to any celebration table, especially during Christmas and New Year. The simplicity of the recipe and the use of easily available ingredients make it accessible to everyone, and the way you've detailed the preparation process is just fantastic!
I love how you balanced the flavors with potatoes, eggs, pickled cucumbers, and chicken sausage. The choice of Heinz mayonnaise as the dressing is spot on it really adds that creamy and tangy touch that enhances the salad's taste.
Your step-by-step explanation, along with the beautiful pictures, makes this recipe incredibly easy to follow. Even someone new to cooking could confidently try this. Also, the idea of storing it in the fridge for 2-3 days is so practical, making it a go-to dish for busy days.
For future versions, maybe you could experiment with adding a pinch of fresh herbs like parsley or dill for an extra burst of flavor. Or, as one commenter suggested, some green peas and onions could give it a more "Olivier salad" vibe, another timeless classic!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe with us. It's always a delight to read your posts and learn from your culinary expertise. Wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with delicious homemade dishes and wonderful memories. 😚

Прекрасно! Но если добавить лук и зеленый горошек, то получится "традиционный новогодный салат Оливье". :)
