I absolutely love salads in summer, but I have to admit there’s nothing quite like a potato salad. It’s creamy, carby, and delicious. Nothing like your average salad. This salad is easy to make and is made with affordable ingredients.

There's nothing quite like a potato salad! Please note, this image is not a photograph of the exact potato salad recipe provided as I didn't take a photo of the one I made! Image source: Shutterstock.

Method

1. Place potato in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Cook the potatoes for 10 minutes or until just tender. Drain. Rinse under cold water. Drain.

3. Whisk mayonnaise, yoghurt, vinegar, mustard and sugar in a large bowl. Season. Combine potato, celery, onion, spinach, chorizo, egg and pickled cucumbers in a large serving bowl. Drizzle with dressing. Serve.

Enjoy this loaded creamy potato salad over this Christmas break.

There are no Mayonnaises on the market today that are nice & tangy. Like the Hinze, 98% used to be. I am a vinegar freak & love the tangy taste in anything that has to have mayonnaise. Why are they all so bland or garlic flavoured?

I just love me a good potato salad. That was always my Christmas Eve chore, making coleslaw, pasta salad and potato salad. I used to have to ban the kids from the kitchen or else there ended up very little left for Christmas day!

I add vinegar to mayonnaise before dressing potato salad or coleslaw. This gives it a nice tang and the consistency makes it easier to mix.
I also serve canned beetroot and pickled onions for the vinegar.

In the days long ago I made my own salad dressing as the other available in the country town was Heinz which was ok but
I used condensed milk small amount of mustard and vinegar it was nice and tangy unless you over did the vinegar
