As a true southerner one has to learn to make this delicacy. I cube my potatoes in 3/4 inch pieces and boil them with an egg. The hard-boiled egg is then minced. I add minced onions and sometimes sweet cubes, but the sweet cubes depend on my mood. I like a bit of mustard to give it a yellow "tinge" and always use Hellmann's mayo. A dash of pepper and you're done.
shareTHE GROCERY STORE MAKES MY TATER SALAD.
shareNo way! You can make it for 1/4 of the price and it tastes better.
shareI AM A DECENT COOK AND VERY GOOD BAKER...PEOPLE EAT AND ENJOY WHATEVER I HAVE COOKED FOR THEM...THAT SAID,I HATE MY OWN COOKING & BAKING...IF I MADE IT,I WONT ENJOY IT...GOTTA LOVE MY DELIGHTFUL MIX OF OCD & ADHD ROLLING DOWN THE MILD SIDE OF THE AUTISTIC SPECTRUM.
shareI remember there were two posters on here who had an ongoing dispute as which was better - potato or macaroni salad.

shareLove me some Larry David humor. I hope you are enjoying the new season of Curb.

shareThe sexual harassment angle is something only LD could pull off. Genius.
shareLARRY SURPASSED HIMSELF FOR GENIUS COMEDY TELEVISION SEASONS AGO...SEINFELD AS GREAT AS IT IS GETS ALL THE LOVE THOUGH...CURB REMAINS UNDER THE RADAR...COULD IT BE THAT ITS SO GENIUS THAT IT EXCLUDES A HUGE PORTION OF THE COMEDY AUDIENCE WHO FIND THE BIG BANG THEORY INTELLIGENT?
shareHuge Seinfeld fan... Even bigger Curb nut. Any time I've met a 'Feld fan who hasn't delved / isn't into Curb it boggles my mind. I'm reaching for an analogy where if 'Feld is [nice but more basic, packaged, processed version of food item], then Curb is the small farmed, organic, no gmo, farm to table, gourmand version, but I can't be assed to complete the thought rn.

i hope i'm not about to make myself look daft, but what on earth are sweet cubes?
shareSweet pickles that are diced. I don't always add them. I like diced hot peppers but as I am usually making it for others I don't go that route often. Sweet cubes are very southern.
shareI THOUGHT SWEET CUBES WERE DESSERTS IN CUBE FORM...SLEEPER STYLE.
shareThey have a pretty good potato salad at Canter's, a Los Angeles based old-school deli that has a branch in downtown Reno (near where I live) - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/canters-delicatessen-reno?select=pIEMQCGoAVPii91pzoG3Gw
shareJewish delis are magical.
sharePotato Salad always reminds me of this Kids in the Hall p.s. tutorial:

Great clip! That totally brings me back to dropping acid as a teenager and going home while trying to act straight.
shareI eat mine warmed.
sharePardon my ignorance, but what are sweet cubes?
shareDiced sweet pickles, lol. Very southern(American). I come from a Scottish background as a lot of people that settled in the southern United States. We use cheap things like potatoes and make them fancy, lol. We also do amazing things with pigs, although I have to tip my hat to slaves for finding ways to make all parts of the pig taste good. Necessity breeds loveliness.
shareI first thought it was sweet potatoes but that didn't make sense. I will check them out. Thanks
shareHave you ever had Thousand island dressing? Sweet cubes are in that. Tartar sauce as well.
shareIt sounds similar to the chow chow recipe my grandmother made.
shareLove that stuff!
shareChow chow is different from sweet relish which I keep on hand, Vlasic brand. I use a bit in my Southern tater salad, in my tuna salad, egg salad. I love good chow chow with fried fingerling catfish. We used to go to a catfish restaurant in Rockwall, Texas that served the best chow chow I’ve eaten.
In the last 10 years I’ve become highly allergic to raw onions...I can’t be near them. There went my potato salad & macaroni salad which I had made for decades. I cannot tolerate store bought salads. A few months ago a I did a search for baked potato salad without onions. I located and made one...it was delicious! Recipe follows:

I’m tempted to prepare the following for chow chow.
