Go figure.

So it's a matter of proportion as to what you call it?

I've had potatoe salad with egg, I like it.
I've never had egg salad with potato but I imagine I would like it.

They're cheapsters and you're extravagant is all... what's to figure.

Two things I don't like in potato salad, mustard or eggs... actually
three, can't stand onions in potato salad, not in cole slaw either,
blech!

Never even thought to add potato to egg salad... but I do like fried
potatoes and eggs.

My mother always added peeled, seeded diced cucumber to her potato
salad. No eggs.

I like to add black olives, but cukes? What kind of "dressing" did she use;
mayo-dill? That could work that way.

I peel and quarter the red potatoes, and cook them 1 day before the making
of the salad; reserving the drained cooked potatoes uncovered in a bowl in
the fridge. I usually cook the eggs in the steamer while I'm boiling the
spuds, since I'm there anyways; also store those in the fridge.

I find day old cooked potatoes taste best. The rest of the stuff, red
onion, celery get processed and added to the Helsman mayo when I make the
salad. A little curry doesn't hurt.

Sad to say, I absolutely do not like the taste or texture of potatoes
after they've been refrigerated.

My husband loves curry with 'taters! I, personally, haven't tried it yet.
I love curry, but it doesn't like me back. How much do you use in your
salad? A pinch or a bit more?

Mayo, celery seed, celery, onion... normal stuff. The cucumber wasn't
very obvious, just a cool bite under creamy dressing. She may have added
some mustard or vinegar to the dressing but I'm not sure?

I usually add celery seed and celery to my tater salad, too. I'll bet my
hubby would love the addition of cukes. Thanks for the idea.

I like eggs in my potato salad, too. Safeway sells a variation of
potato salad with extra hard boiled eggs yolks. Kind of a deviled egg
potato salad. Only, since it's massed produced, its hard to say
whether or not the extra yolk color/flavor is real egg yolks. I'm
going to try it myself, the next time I make potato salad.

Well, of course! It's de rigueur to add eggs to potato
salad. It's not right without them.

That's like that "Drive on a parkway, park on a driveway" thing...

It doesn't work with other things like that, though. I mean like "Motor
on a turnpike?" Or "Speed on a highway" is ok, but "High on a speedway"
isn't.

I dress potatoes for salad while still hot with bacon fat and cider
vinegar. Cool it down a bit and add a homemade garlic mayo.

I have Slovak cousins from up near the Slovak-Italian border. They send
out for theirs.

No, seriously...

ROFL!! Slovak-Italian border. I gotta remember that one, Row-behr-to!
A couple cloves of garlic in the homemade mayo? Anything else? What do
you use for acid? Oil?
I'm thinking of the stick blender recipe for mayo that someone posted
here a coupla years ago. It woiked! I had pictures on my website at
one time.

I'll remember the curry if I think I can get away with it.
I've got a chicken salad recipe made with Rice-a-Roni, artichoke hearts,
and curry powder in the dressing. Haven't made it in about 30 years,
I'll bet.
