I love discovering the history behind foods we consider to be traditional, and potato salad is no exception. So I was thrilled when National Public Radio ran a story called Rethinking Potato Salad . Susan Russo explained potato salad has been around for centuries.
“It was first introduced to Europe from the New World by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. These early potato salads were made by boiling potatoes in wine or a mixture of vinegar and spices. The more American version of potato salad is rooted in German cuisine and came here with European settlers.”
Read more about how this traditional side dish developed, but even better, take a look at some of the innovative recipes she offers her listeners/readers. Each has their own distinctive flavor, but all are easy-to make and without mayonnaise.
