What did you cook tonight?

It’s (i.e., Martin’s version of potato salad) called “German potato salad” here in Manila as well. What is known as “potato salad” here is the American version - surely because of the American influence post WW2, after Japanese occupation.

I’m a big fan of potatoes and totally anti bad mayo.

I wish it was easier to procure some of those original New World potatoes. Occasionally and seasonally I was able to get some of these from the Andes when I was living in Argentina.

Mayo has its merits, no doubt. BUT a potato salad needs only broth, oil, vinegar etc.

Didn‘t we invent the potato salad?!?!

Me neither Alan-I prefer the tangy zip of miracle whip!

That is just one reason why there are potato grow bags, which work quite nicely in my experience.

I recently had a connecting flight with ANA and can attest to mayo in potato salad, at least with airline dining, and I dare to say it was really good (I didn’t eat the random full slice of salami on top). Lightly dressed, and identical/perfect 1/4” cubes of potatoes, looked like a little whole grain mustard, too. They are an 11/10 in every aspect of an airline vs United. I thought that kind of economy class attention to detail (food, service, cleanliness, legroom etc) was all but dead.

Leeks two ways, carrots, beans, potatoes

Chilean sea bass with chile, peppers, tomato and paprika. The preparation, while Italian, strongly reminded me of Hungarian ghoulash. Side of chanterelles mushrooms, which were sauteed before bathing in a white wine/shallot/butter/thyme sauce. :melting_face:

Made this wild rice soup again last week. Adapted it a bit for my diverticulitis flareup (eliminated the kale) and also for what I had on hand/flavor (used homemade duck stock instead of chicken stock; added some vegetables to the duck stock, too). I :hearts: this recipe! Thanks again for sharing, @Patrick_Taylor .
