Potato Salad

[NightTrain]

Yesterday I came home after moving 10k pounds of industrial batteries by hand, and I was sore. And stiff. And I heard some sissy groaning in the distance... or maybe that was me.

For some bizarre reason, my otherwise perfect wife doesn't like potato salad and doesn't make it for me unless someone complains about the lack of Perfect Side Dish.

The kids took it upon themselves to Google the directions to make potato salad several hours before, which as we all know, has been universally proven to be the greatest side dish known to man.

I opened the fridge when I lumped upstairs to the Kitchen after finally getting home, and there in the middle of the fridge was a big, beautiful bowl of the best potato salad I've ever sampled. I had half my steak and 3 helpings of that potato salad.

I love my kids. The effort on their part warms my heart.

I'm a lucky man.

You are a lucky man!

That your Perfect wife, who HATES potato salad, had your loving children tag team this endeavor I set before them.

As my child, who also HATES potato salad, would not taste her creation, forced your loving son to be the guinea pig


You're welcome

[SassyLady]

Yes, you are lucky man to have people who love you that much.

I am picky about my potato salad, but when I have some it's a lot. Love my taters!

I don't like it either. If my mom didn't make, I won't even put on the pretense of having the good manners to try anyone else's.

You my friend are not only lucky but also very blessed and wise in your life choices. As such does not occur unless the significant other is a truly great person and both parents raise their kids right, IMHO...
By the way, in my world, no BBQ is ever good unless it also has great potato salad and great baked/BBQ beans.
Just more evidence of how much your children cherish and love you!--Tyr

I will say, with no slight to Sharon, as that woman can COOK!! I ate many a meals and all were delicious.

But potato salad belonged to my Mom, and no one else was ever able to get it just right.

My Mom was famous for her "German potato salad", not surprising since we have a fair amount of German in us. It was the potato salad, mixed with bacon, some salt and vinegar...

I don't even know why it was only her that made it SO right. But between the potatoes and the bacon, you could eat a huge bowl just like Rick enjoyed!! Man I miss them!

But I also like me some regular egg potato salad.

My idea of BBQ is MEAT. Anything else takes up MEAT space Some sweet tea to wash it down and I'm good to go. Side dishes are an unnecessary dirtying of perfectly clean dishes.

Besides, you know most people put mustard and or mayo in their potato salad? INSTANT disqualifier if it isn't made with Miracle Whip. And forget that mustard BS (in potato salad)

I like a lot of eggs in my potato salad, almost 50-50 with the tatters.

Miracle Whip ... blech!

[SassyLady]

Me too ... but I add celery, radishes and purple onions (I like the contrast if soft potato and egg with crunch of veggies) and my sauce is secret. Does NOT have miracle whip.

[Gunny]

Miracle Whip ... bleach!

That's okay. I feel EXACTLY the same about mayo. I won't touch it. Beyond nasty.

Now if you could just instill that feeling into the SIL we'd be good to go because he'd quit stealing mine.

. Definitely not from the South. THAT isn't potato salad.

Guess you wouldn't have to share.

Not a fan of celery in tatter salad, even though I love celery in a lot things, even chili, or meat loaf, or sloppy joes, just not tatter salad. Onions are good. I love onions on or in just about anything.

I like Miracle Whip or Mayo. Just different flavors. Sometimes mix 'em.
