That trick with pushing the eggs through a wire rack is a game-changer!
@Metoobie OMG Yes!!!!!!
A hand held potato masher works well too.
Or smash em with a solid fork if in a pinch.
I always enjoy Frank's 101 videos. He has such a kind and patient energy about him, makes him an excellent teacher.
❤
🥹 omg
Yes
sooo soooo true! ❤ More Frank videos
Same
Instead of vinegar, I throw in diced pickles. YUM! Such a simple side, yet so enjoyable. 💛
You're just making olivye at that point. It's a russian salad.
Yup, that's what I do as well. And I also add some diced cheese. 😋
Diced? Just use a dill relish.
Yes, and I give the olives a miss, too. Sometimes, adding some finely mined red onion for a bit of crunch and colour. But everyone's grandma made it different!
@@m53goldsmith raw onions do not belong in potato salad.
1 or 2 teaspoons of mustard makes a huge improvement I find. Other than that, the method here is how I've been making it for 20ish years (again, only difference is adding a bit of mustard to the mix)
Mustard, yes. Olives, no.
I too love a generous amount of mustard in my potato salad. Same as with deviled eggs. I love the recipe that Frank shared though. It is very sweet that it reminds him of his grandmother.
I think with the vinegar the mustard isn't really necessary.
Vinegar, mustard and spring onions
Agreed. I use Coleman’s Sweet Hot mustard.
Nobody makes potato salad like a mama. ❤ My mom's will always be my go to.
Yes! I agree. Have never tasted any potato salad better than my mom's.
Drop the recipe 😊
I love putting paprika on egg potato salad (the sweet Hungarian kind)
Nope, not Hellmans, I prefer Dukes
I always mix the mayo, salt pepper, vinegar, etc really well before adding to the potatoes and eggs. Better overall distribution of seasoning.
I think I'd NOT prefer that. So each bite has it's own diverse flavor and it's not all exactly the same.
I do the same thing. Mixing un-combined dressing ingredients with the potatoes will result in mushy potatoes.
I do too. I like it to very combined and incorporated well before I add my potatoes eggs and veggies yum yum
@@Christopher-rd7ou make potatoes ahead and chill no mushy at all
@@hundragant Whatever 🙄
The wire rack hard boiled egg thing is genius!
Yes, it is!
53...first time I've ever seen olives in any potatoe salad. 😮
Im....53 it's a first for me too ❤
I learned to add vinegar to my potato salad a long time ago...I sometimes use apple cider vinegar. It really makes the whole dish much tastier. Great idea on those green olives....I LOVE THEM. Thanks for sharing, Chef!
I always find that peeling eggs under running water is the best, plus it washes away all of the residual shell. Just throw them into a dish towel together and roll them around and they're dry.
My mom would peel her potatoes before boiling and as soon as they were done drain them well and then splash them with the vinegar. The potatoes would soak up the vinegar and it just makes it so much better
Then do a video and post it
My mom would soak her potatoes in Italian dressing the night before then add the onions eggs celery and some mayo. GOAT potato salad.
I love the vinegar for sure and I love the eggs on the top nice very nice
I love how easy that was. It’s very similar to how my family makes ours. We just incorporate a little bit of celery for texture and some relish for sweetness and that makes for an even better potato salad.
You have to let the potato salad sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours before serving. It gives the flavors a chance to really meld and makes for a demonstrably better flavor.
I agree. Same with pasta salads and braised dishes, soups, and stews.
ABSOLUTELY
I like Black Olives and Celery, hold the vinegar to 0 or a dash. But there are countless recipees, and 1 has cream cheese and bacon with shallots ! ✨
My sister did it similar to this but instead of olives, she used pickles and yellow mustard. My favorite ever. It's tough to admit it but the use of those green olives w that brineyness and the pimiento rather is just genius. And the plain white vinegar to season the potatoes . This recipe is beautiful. 🥹
Yellow mustard is a MUST for me with potato salad. My mum also makes it with mashed potatoes, not cubed, which I know some people really hate but for me it's my favourite.
Yes to green olives! Ok my mom put green olives in
I feel like this is a great base potato salad, and then all the other stuff is "what kind of other flavors do you like? add 'em in!" I personally use sweet gherkins, green olives, green onions.
“Miracle whip is gross, throw it out the window.” 😂😂😂 I totally agree!!!
Oh that egg chopping hack is brilliant!
This is the first time I have seen anybody putting olives in potato salad.
salty , briny, perfect combination.
Really?? I see it all the time! I don’t personally enjoy it but Ive seen it quite a bit.
@@MikeR65 I know more people who hate the green stuffed olives than like them so that would leave a lot of people out for eating potato salad that day, lol lol
Diced onion and finely chopped celery is REALLY a game changer - and a dash of yellow mustard.
That's how my mama made it.
I'm loving these Frank Proto videos. Frank has this great educational vibe. It's clear he's a great chef with his own ideas and he's also very interested in helping people learn basics.
Instead of olives, I like to thinly slice cucumbers, salt them, pat dry, and then add that into the potato salad. It adds a very nice crunch to it.
Ashamed to tell you how long I've been cooking (not professionally) but I never heard of your "trick" for chopping hard boiled eggs for a salad using a resting rack. Why didn't I think of that? Love it!
I really like onion with my potatoes, I'd definitely add some finely chopped shallots or something, maybe chop in some pickled red onion along with the pickling juice.
That being said, I'm a huge fan of mustardy potato salads, maybe with some dill and green beans and radishes. Probably some capers. And definitely some shallots.
Green beans? radishes? capers? never have I seen a potato salad with that stuff in it, and hope I dont! but it's your recipe and glad you enjoy it.
I’ve watched numerous videos, read through lots of recipes. I love the straightforward and minimalist approach. I can’t wait to try this recipe; I know it will be perfect! Thanks!
Duke’s mayonnaise and a little bit of mustard! Love the egg chopping method!
I actually made this just now. I found that this basic recipe is easy-to-follow and makes a great side..um…oh yes, I added Miracle Whip and paprika topper and it was perfect. Da-dah!
Who would have thought there were so many tips for making potato salad. Well done.
Frank’s videos make me feel like I’m a much better cook than I deserve to be.
❓
@@RealBigBadJohn , he makes me FEEL like I’m a better cook. Watching him makes me think I am a wiz in the kitchen. “Oh that’s easy, I can do that”. When I should be saying to myself “just don’t, you’ll only be disappointed in yourself”.
Unbelievably simple.....Perfect!!
I make my grandma's famous potato salad too - similar to yours, but add mustard, dill pickles and onion. Your version looks delicious. Thank you for the boiled egg trick!!
Try this one on for size: red potatoes (do no peeling!), diced boiled eggs, diced dill pickles, diced polish sausage, 50/50 blend whole egg mayonnaise and salad cream (e.g. Heinz), salt and pepper to taste. The ratios of the diced additions are up to you, I'm in favour of being a little heavy handed. Oh, some sort of diced onion is nice also, but I don't tend to because children complain
I love potato salad! I add diced onion/shallot, a pinch of dry mustard, and top it off with paprika. Oh, and I use a mix of mayo and Miracle Whip!
Where's the mustard?!!
You make the potato salad like I do . I feel empowered lol thank you Frank
Chopping the eggs through a cooling rack... Mind. Blown. Where has this hack been all my life? 🤯
Thanks for this yummy 😋 recipe, I like the vinegar part, never thought of that b4.
I liked that egg hack.
Some great tips, Chef! Very helpful.
After watching this I went ahead and made it!
It turned out great! I chopped a few pickles and added pepperoncinis!
I liked the test of putting the knife into the potato to check doneness!
Thanks Chef!
Totally enjoying the 101 series. I can't wait to try this recipe. Potato salad is one of my favorites.
No olives for me. I put a bit of mustard and some diced pickles in with the mayo, just enough to taste without overpowering anything else
I make my potato salad almost the same way, I add celery and a little mustard. Love ❤️ your recipes and you.
Add yellow mustard to taste, diced celery, diced dill pickles & sliced black olives. Absolutely delicious this way.
I do russet potatoes as well!
This is how I make potato salad. For years people have complimented me but now I understand why. Thanks much...
❤❤❤love your recipe
I love potato salad🥰
Thank you for this amazing recipe 👏👍
Frank never disappoints. ❤
Excelente recetas
Never done this before. Easy enough to remember without writing anything down. Smashing idea to use the rack instead of chopping.
I make potato salad that is utterly delicious and irresistable. I do not know why it is irresistable, but it is. Period.
I enjoyed watching your easy Potato salad.
gracias por compartir
This recipe is very similar to my family's recipe. When my grandmother would bring it to picnics, it was a huge hit! I've made her potato salad a couple of times, but it's just not her's.
Chef frank + potatoes= celebration❤
That looks awesome, nice touch with the olives! I'll try this
Thank you
Love this idea for a recipe. Thank you.... I love my potato salad warm.... I make a different dressing, no lives, I add slivers of almonds sometimes.... Thank you for this version... So easy....
Love your recipe i will try it . thank you
Frank is the best!!!
Miracle whip lol I add dried dill weed in my salad Mustard given it little tangy to it. It’s my mom’s and grandma’s recipes.
Great tips!
You are the perfect cooking teacher!
Thank you for the simple recepi and the trick on how to crash your eggs. Never used olives but wilp try now. I always put relish in my potato salad and i just learned its not needed.
I love all of Frank episodes. I recently found out that he has a RUclips channel it's called proto cooks with chef Frank. Great recipes ❤
Yes, my mom used to make the best potato salad with eggs, olives, some chopped garlic, mayo and I think a little mustard. Sometimes she used a little celery but never sugar.
Me encanta 😍
I have an egg slicer so I use it. Another item I add is paprika and dress with more chopped eggs. Interesting idea to cook potatoes whole with skin. Less watery.
The fact that he used that pitcular mayo made it !
Deep South here/ peel and cut potatoes then boil / eggs boiled and chopped / sweet relish/ a little bit dill relish/ mayonnaise/ salt and pepper/ easy / the hubs likes tad mustard I don’t 🫤also it is imperative to stir this all in a glass bowl Not plastic ‼️idk why but makes huge difference/ and Delicious ‼️☺️
Sorry but Miracle Whip is a must in MY house!😊
My first introduction to Hellmann's mayo was as a kid at my friend's house. They had potatoe salad with sliced green olives, white onions, celery and Hellmann's! Oh my goodness. It was so simple but so delicious! I have developed my own potato salad over the years but I keep some of it while I making it for myself and my adult daughter and use the green olives. It takes me back. Potato salad is definitely in everyone's happiest memories of family and friends!
⁹I hi no by mm
No

Eggs in instant pot for the win!
Looks yummy..I will try to make this..tnx
This the basic potato salad most tri-state delis used to make - fairly plain but yummy.
Yum. I’m gonna try this!
My Mom made the best potato salad i ever ate. She taught me to add the vinegar to warm potatoes, sweet pickle relish, diced onion and diced celery, salt, pepper, a little garlic powder and when all cooled down, mayo to taste. Mix gently until just blended and don’t be rough or over mix. Make it the day before you want to eat it.
That’s pretty much how I make mine except I use a tablespoon of yellow mustard and dill pickles instead of olives.
Love Franks video's, hes the best. My tater salad is very close to this,.....i add my own flavorings.....abit of red onion, chopped celery, chopped bread and butter pickles, tablespoon of sugar, tablespoon of lemon juice, splash of the potato water, 1/4 teaspoon celery seed, paprika sprinkled on top. Oh and fresh cracked pepper. Thats how my grandma made it in ScotsRidge, Ohio
Looks delicious 😋 yummy 😋
Awesome 😎👍.. thankyou
Looks yummy 😋
Whoa, Frank just invented the Slap Chop, get Dan Formosa on this
Really the best
And some of us were raised on Miracle Whip, so…NOT garbage!
I love apples in potato salad! 😋
Wow cool egg shredding technique 👍
Im going to make this! Thankyou
I'm gonna try it tomorrow thanks!
Simple, straight forward, all talking is meaningful. LOVE this.
I tried this and loved it.
Love this human❤❤❤
That's a clever technique to chop the eggs. My variant is to add chopped cornichons to introduce the vinegar element into the dressing, along with some fresh dill. Also, I think it's really important to dress the potatoes while they are still warm.
Boil eggs, rinse boiled water,run cold water over eggs, drain, run water to about an inch in bottom of pan; now break your eggs’ shells in the water, in the pan, they peel magnificently easy
Celery is a must and so is Coleman’s dried mustard.
I love to bombard the salad with chopped celery, add sweet relish, a touch of ranch dressing with the mayo and that’s it!!
I definitely enjoy your videos brother !
Love the rack idea for chopping eggs. I’ve used fine mesh before. Works well too! Love room temp pot salad. Sometimes use buttermilk and dill. Yum? No biting into cold potatoes for me. Yuk!
Love the soupy viennese salad with pumpkinseed oil 😋
frank is the GOAT! egss through the rack is awesome, i can't believe I've never seen this before
Nice! Can't wait to make this potato salad
La mejor papá
