Is potato salad the greatest food of all time? The only things that come close is macaroni salad

Egg salad or chicken salad is infinitely superior

yup... As far as mayonnaise based salads go, chicken > egg > macaroni > potato. Potato is shit-tier, since its just empty carbs. So is macaroni, but atleast theres texture in it. Potato is just eating a block of flavorless calories.

>buddy tells me i HAVE to try the potato salad from a deli down the road.
>mfw it's just boiled potatoes with mayo
I like the one that doesn't have 1 billion calories.
Once in a while these Mayo shitfests are alight though.
Being from Eastern Europe, i am truly weirded out to see just potatoes and mayo considered a "potato salad".
Round here a usual potato salad would consist of boiled potatoes, peas, sausage (or bologna for my american friends),apple, sweet pickles, boiled carrots, parsley, sourcream and mayo. Everything chopped into small square pieces.

bacon, soft boiled eggs, soft herbs, spring onions and little diced gherkins are common in Australia, or at least all the people I know make that

>In America, potato salad is literally just potatoes and mayo! If only America wasn't so AWFUL!
I dunno dude, maybe you're buying the 20 cents per pound wal mart tub of "potato salad", but I've never had potato salad that shitty before in my life.

Tuna is the GOAT
Classical Bavarian potato salad is without any Mayo - just diced, boiled potatoes, finely diced and lightly sweated off onions (no browning), some stock, vegetable oil, salt and pepper.

....nothing says you cannot have eggs and chicken in a potato salad?
Do people really think potatoes are empty carbs? Atkins has done irreversible damage to our collective consciousness. Potatoes are full of nutrients and compared to a lot of other things have a moderate amount of calories.
To think that in a dish with mayo and potatoes people would shun the potato explains why we're growing fatter by the day.

Basically there's a lot of fat people in denial.
The whole carbs are bad thing makes them feel OK to stuff themselves with fatty foods totally oblivious to the fact that fats are the most calorie dense food group.
The best potato salad I've ever had was in a German restaurant, I think it had honey mustard and boiled egg slices

In Britain, Potato salad is literally just potatoes and mayo.
I don't see the appeal.
