Potato salad is a versatile dish originating from European cuisine, now enjoyed globally with countless variations. Typically made with boiled potatoes as the base, it often includes ingredients like mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and an assortment of add-ins such as onions, celery, pickles, or hard-boiled eggs. Some recipes incorporate herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor. While rich in carbohydrates from the potatoes, it can also provide fiber, potassium, and some vitamins depending on the ingredients used. However, the higher calorie and fat content often come from mayonnaise or other creamy dressings. Health-conscious versions may substitute lighter dressings such as yogurt or olive oil to reduce unhealthy fats. Potato salad is a popular side dish for barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings, offering a comforting and customizable blend of flavors that can be adapted to fit dietary preferences.
