Potato salad

Lisagran thank you so very much ... I'll be off to Waitrose tomorrow morning. I shall follow your instructions re the baking tray. That's the kind of cooking I CAN manage ?.

Yes. What phoenix said is very true.

We liked the Heinz vegetable salad, and the potato one. Didn't know you couldn't still get it.

You've reminded me of the time I did a potato salad with a jar of Sandwich Spread as the dressing. The 1960s in a bowl!

Oh yes! There was another one called vegetable salad which had had an assortment of processed veg is a salad cream type dressing ??

Does anyone remember the tinned Heinz Potato Salad from the 1970's?

Sounds lovely , by the way you can buy the feta and spinach pie in Lidl when they gave Greek week, frozen, very good for a quick dinner. I also love making it myself

Esmerelda - sometimes I make Spinach and feta pie, but recently I’ve discovered these in Waitrose, which are very good. They are packaged in plastic and they say to remove the lid and cook in the plastic base - but I put it on a pre- heated baking tray instead, to avoid a soggy bottom

I make potato salad, and I'm told its very good, but can't eat it as to me it looks as if it's been eaten once before

I like to add chopped sweet pickled cucumber to potato salad. Most supermarkets stock jars but I find the best ones are Mrs Elswood which I get from Tesco. Delicious.

I love Italian potato salad ..

Potato, tomato, onion, olive oil, vinegar ..

You can add olives, capers, pepperoni, salami, fresh herbs and mozzarella ..

Lisgran please let me know where you get your spinach and feta pie from as I just LOVE it, but as I am also a hopeless cook I can't make it for myself! My mouth is watering just thinking of this right now.

Thank you Lisagran, we are having this tonight with home made quiche and salad.
Looking forward to tasting it.
We used to have a German neighbour, who made delicious potato salad, but mine never equalled hers.

EllanVannin I hope you’d be prepared to share your recipe for salad cream - I was addicted to the Heinz version as a child, and still like it in small quantities, but have never yet managed to put together a home-made version that tasted right. Often delicious, but never actually salad cream.

Mmmm- sounds great. I have a freezer drawer full of red chillis as for some reason they just went potty this year so I'll give this a go tomorrow with red chillis- I'm sure it will work just as well- although some are VERY hot so I'll save those for curry!!
Thank you for recipe.

Always make my own potato salad and salad cream too.

I love potato salad. I’m definitely going to try the recipe and other suggestions on here. Thanks for posting.

At the moment I have a craze for fresh mint which I add, finely chopped, to coleslaw and any mixed, green salad.

I'd add it to this too.

That sounds delicious

I love a good potato salad. If I'm using something like olive oil & balsamic vinegar I do it when the spuds are still hot. Not if I'm using a yoghurt or mayo-based dressing though. I sometimes go for chopped chives and Heinz salad cream because that was the default in the 1960s so it's like comfort food.

Thanks Lisagran.....I love a potato salad. Never thought of adding green chilli, although green chillis are readily available in my frig. I will add them next time. I usually have it with marinated, grilled chicken.
