Potato salad

Potato salad is a beloved side dish made with boiled potatoes and a blend of other delectable ingredients. Although it is enjoyed worldwide today, it is believed to have originated in Germany. From there, it spread across Europe and eventually to European colonies.

When German and other European immigrants arrived in the United States in the 19th century, they brought their potato salad recipes with them. Over time, these recipes evolved into the American version we cherish today. Typically served cold or at room temperature, American potato salad often includes mayonnaise, herbs, and various vegetables, making it a creamy and flavorful complement to any meal.
