100 Year Old Potato Salad Recipe - Authentic Brooklyn NY Deli Potato Salad
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2020
- This is a 100 year old potato salad recipe from my aunt. She owned several delis in Brooklyn, NY many years ago and used to make most of the food that was sold herself. When she bought one of the delis, the previous owner passed on all of the recipes to her. My family has been making this potato salad ever since. The original recipe called for Wesson Oil but you can use any vegetable oil that you like. My aunt always used red potatoes so I still make it with red potatoes. My aunt also used to garnish it with fresh parsley and some carrot curls. I didn't have any on hand when I filmed the video but it makes for a nice presentation.

This is a recipe for an Authentic New York Deli Potato salad. This is how the potato salad was made over 100 years ago and how it is still made today in many New York and Long Island delicatessens. The secret to its wide appeal is in its simplicity.
Very interesting recipe. TFS.
Grandma, fifty thousand views for a potato salad recipe. That's amazing! I have a recipe, but kept watching because my dad's family came from long Island. In your voice I heard all of them, and had them near again. Thank you.
What kind of mayo do you use please? I like Hellmans.
No paprika or pepper?
If I don’t use Hellman’s my family gives me the hairy eyeball……
Of Aunt's, apron's, brushes, door to door sales men, potato fields and 100 year old recipe's...
Precious memories lovingly shared by grandma and grandpa!
Thank you for watching and they sure are precious memories👩👨
My grandmother passed away a while ago and you and her share an accent. Listening to you talk is like going back in time and listening to my own grandmother talk to me and teach me how to cook as a child. I have so many amazing memories waking up to the smell of amazing food in the mornings, I would stand in the kitchen and she would just turn around, smile and ask me if I wanted to learn to make it myself. I always said yes. I would wake up at 4am to help on thanksgiving and she would always brag to her friends how I was the only other person in our family who was allowed to touch the turkey and the gravy because no one else made it as good as I did. She left behind all of her handwritten recipes to me on her passing. We shared a deep bond when it came to food and hospitality. I miss her every day. Her potato salad is basically the same with some other additions. I'm going to go out and buy the ingredients and make for dinner tonight.
Hi thank you for sharing your amazing memories of your Grandmother. If listening to me is like going back in time and listening to your Grandmother I feel flattered. How wonderful that she left you all of her handwritten recipes. They are a treasured keepsake. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
Piratesaregay12322 - thanks for sharing this lovely story of cooking with your grandmother. I have a wonderful 9 year old grandson & we share a sweet bond. It would be my hope that in future years he remembers me just the way you do your beautiful grandma. Best wishes from Sydney Australia
😊
I searched for this recipe my whole life! I was born on LI and the deli there had it. My parents moved to Florida when I was 10 and I never had it again unless I went back to LI to visit. Thank you SO much for putting this on here!!! Love the photos of your family's deli too!
I am happy to hear you now have the recipe for the potato salad. Grandpa and I grew up on LI and we still live here. Thank you so much for watching and glad you liked the pictures.👩🏻
The sweetest sounding lady.
Makes me miss my grandmothers.
Thank you for your kind words❤️Grandma👩🏻
I used to be a Fuller Brush sales lady, about 35 years ago. That veggie brush was a free gift to anyone who would listen to my sales pitch! I still have about 5 of them around my house😄
Hi thank you for sharing that you were a Fuller Brush sales lady. That veggie brush last along time❤️Grandma👩🏻
Grandma, thank you a billion TIMES for sharing this wonderful traditional recipe. We SO need to remember these traditional gems of knowledge to hand down to future generations. In these perilous times we live in, Grandma and Grandpa Feral, you give us the gift of hope by sharing these recipes. May God bless you.
Seconding the gratitude, and the blessings, toward our beloved virtual grandparents, Grandma and Grandpa Feral...and, most of all, the love.
More Deli recipes please Grandma! ❤️👍🏼🤗
I am still looking through my Moms recipes👩🏻
It looks delicious!!!!
You can't find potato salad like that anymore!
Thank you!
God bless!🙏
Salt and pepper peels and bake them dip in ranch so good and no waste ❤thank you
Thanks for sharing how you use the peels.❤️Grandma👩🏻
Do not eat potato skins... they contain lectins, which cause auto immune disease. Read The Plant Paradox by Dr. Steven Gundry. Build and maintain a robust immune system.
Good idea! Nutritious and no waste...
Have to try!
What a great idea! Thanks for the tip!
There’s nothing in the world like Brooklyn deli potato salad! Thank you, Grandma Feral!
Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
Thanks for this! If you have anymore Brooklyn deli recipes to share, I'm sure I'm not the only one that's interested. I've been in NYC a million times and everytime I go I stuff myself with deli food. Who needs high end restaurants? I will always miss Carnegie Deli. This is great!
Move over Grandpa, I'm coming with my spoon!😀
Thank you for watching. My Aunt and Uncle mainly sold sandwiches and of course the homemade potato salad. We remember the Carnegie Deli and many other places with great food that are no longer in business👩.
@@GrandmaFeralThanks Grandma Feral. I enjoy watching you.
Yes. New York probably has the best food in the world! Most kids were sent to camp in the summer but I was sent to my aunt in New Jersey. Great education.
My pop on my father's side would always make potato salad and add dill seasoning to it, I loved the way it tasted with the homemade Kielbasa. Yummy
A memory of a deli my Mom frequented, Grusenmyers, popped in my head. You knew your meat was local and grass fed And all the delicious food like this potato dalad.
@martyrose - I too ate at Carnegie Deli... delicious!! We also had so good deli's around our NJ towns and still do! The tradition lives on!! So Glad I grew up in those times! Great food proudly made!
Finally! LI, NYC potato salad at home! Thank you. I’ve been looking to duplicate Deli potato salad in my kitchen for many years. This is it!!!!
I am glad I posted my Aunts deli potato salad and you are now able to make it. Enjoy and have a good day❤️Grandma👩🏻
I grew up on NY poptato salad. And it's still the best in the world. So thank you for this very special authentic recipe, ehat a treasure. My grandma made a great German family potato salad, but I always loved the NY deli's. I'm speechless as to the simplicity of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You are so welcome!❤️Grandma👩🏻
Thank you! The Long Island deli potato salad recipe I had called for the potatoes to soak overnight in the vinegar brine. Your recipe is much easier and tastes just as good. Garnish with shredded carrot, parsley and paprika. So yummy! Just like Long Island delis from my childhood. ❤
Sounds great! Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
My parents had Fuller brushes, I still have a few!
People may not believe that your brush is 50 years old but I can attest to that. My parents brushes look just as good now as they did when I was a kid. Of course I haven't used them very much in recent decades. I keep them for nostalgia. Things were made to last a long time in those days. And companies put their reputation behind their product. Most of that has disappeared these days, sad to say.
Hi Pamela Fuller brush is an excellent product. I think you are still able to purchase some of the products either online or in a catalogue. Everything they made years ago last forever. I am still using many items i received at my bridle shower. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
After my grandfather retired, he started selling Fuller Brush products for awhile. I have that vegetable scrubber! But mine isn’t as old as yours! My mom still has the carpet sweeper.
I have a Fuller broom and it hardly shows wear. I use it for sweeping and scrubbing.
Items are made to wear out. Now a days they want us to buy again and again.
My mom had a Fullerbrush vegetable brush like yours except it had a brown handle. She also had a FullerBrush hair brush that she bought when I was about 4 or 5 years old. Fast forward 55 years. When she passed away, she still had the hairbrush and she had used it faithfully every day of all those years. They were built to last.
The Fuller Brush man🥰My mom had that exact same brush!! I'm from NJ & this sounds like the REAL potato salad my mom made when we were kids! The oil, sugar, water & vinegar and grated onion are the tricks added to the mayonnaise! Thank you for the secret!
Hi thank you for sharing that your Mom had the same vegetable brush. It probably is the potato salad your Mom made. I hope you make this Potato Salad and enjoy it as much as we do.❤️Grandma👩🏻
I am from the South and we put boiled eggs, cubed picked (sweet) onions, Mayo and a 1/2 teaspoon of Mustard for color.
Hi thank you for sharing how you make your potato salad. Have a nice day❤️Grandma👩🏻
Without the potatoes, you made an egg salad sandwich mixture. Put it on 3 slices of toasted white bread for a Woolworth's club sandwich.
I love potato salad,, thank you for your recipe grandma🌹🤗
Thank you for watching👩
I'm 95. I can imagine how good this potato salad tastes. I remember, well, delicatessen flavors. I think women have abandoned the art of cooking. Oh well, at least I know how good it used to be.
You are right! ❤️Grandma👩🏻
I made this yesterday, but since I was making just for myself, I only made a 1/4 batch. It's so good and is now my favorite potato salad recipe (wish I had only cut in half).
I made the potato salad for Grandpa and I the other day. I only had two Idaho potatoes but it made enough to have with our dinner. Glad to hear it is now your favorite potato salad. It is so good and has so few ingredients. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
Did you taste any vinegar?
My parents were born in Brooklyn but moved to Florida in 1950. My favorite part of going back to visit was going to the Italian deli's and bakeries. I was a connoisseur of good food even as a child.😊
Thanks for sharing!! ❤️Grandma👩🏻
After my grandparents immigrated from Europe they opened a butcher shop/deli in Harlem NY. This is pretty much the same recipe except on occasion we would add celery seed. Thank you for sharing this. I will make it soon, for sure!
Hi thank you for sharing that your grandparents opened a butcher shop/deli in Harlem. Have a nice day❤️Grandma
I add celery seed too. I love deli food!
Your Aunt's recipe is quite different from my Grandmother's recipe. She passed away in 1972 but luckily she gave me a few of her recipes. Her's is 5 lbs of potatoes, cooked similar to what you showed, basically her recipe is the same as yours until you start adding the extra ingredients. Her's consists of potatoes (she favored red for this too), Hellman's mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, dried or fresh parsley, six hard boiled eggs, chop four and slice two for the top as decoration. It's a recipe that is requested on a regular basis. My Aunt Rita made her potato salad the same except she added 50/50 mayonnaise and sour cream.
My Aunt made a more plain Potato Salad to sell at the deli. She did not want to add eggs or other ingredients that customers may not like or have an allergy to. Thank you for sharing how your Grandmother made hers and thank you for watching👩🏻
NYC potato salad was strictly brining ingredients and Hellmans. No veg😊
I do the 1/2 sour cream too instead of only mayo. and I add DILL WEED! (never pickles!). but whatever floats your boat! thank you!
I can't wait to make this, THANK YOU for passing on this family treasure
You are so welcome! Hope you enjoy❤️Grandma👩🏻
Thank you for sharing these classic recipes. I really wish I could see my grandparents cooking again and learn their recipes. Thanks for inviting us into your kitchen. It is bringing back so many memories from my grandparents.
I am glad I could bring back memories of your grandparents. Thank you so much for watching👩🏻
I love seeing old recipes past done generation to generation. Your aunt would be so happy to see you sharing it with us! ❤️ From 🇨🇦
Hi yes my Aunt would be so happy to see her recipe will be made by so many. She was a favorite Aunt and a very generous person. She would help anyone in need.❤️Grandma👩🏻
This is the sweetest lady ever, I want to give her a hug.
Thank you for your kind words. Love & Hugs Grandma👩🏻
Thank you for the recipe and nostalgic info. When I was a kid we didn't have the internet- and wouldn't miss it back then- but we had so many other things. Like Grandma said, the Fuller Brush man, the Helms Bakery truck that would come down your street, tooting it's funny horn every morning selling wonderful bakery items. The Good Humour man selling ice cream was a treat that kids looked forward to during the summer months especially. We loved the music from the truck telling us that ice cream was on it's way. Times were good and not to be forgotten.
Hi I know we did not have the internet or a cell phone. We would have to look for a phone booth to call home. When we watched TV we would have to get up and change the channel. We had plenty of exercise without going to a gym. It was such a different time and it should not be forgotten. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
What a great recipe, thanks for sharing. I love the story behind it and that you are keeping the tradition alive and well. I will be trying your version of potato salad soon!
Thank you for watching. I am happy you will be trying the recipe👩
Looks delicious!
Loved the photos of the deli.
Thank you❤️Grandma👩🏻
Neat learning deli tricks
Looks like great potato salad. Liked the photos, the vintage apron and vegetable scrubber and the family story. 😻💙💙
It is a great potato salad and glad you enjoyed the video👩
I don't know you, but you are so kind-hearted to share such a precious recipe! I love it! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! ❤️Grandma👩🏻
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this. Such a wonderful recipe.
Thank you for watching👩
My mother born and raised in Brooklyn loved her Brooklyn potato salad, God rest her soul. I can’t wait to try this one and enjoy with a nice sandwiche. Thank you for sharing!
Hope you enjoy. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
Granada, i have been sick with a stomach bug and thank the Lord i am recovering. I like potatoes and was looking for a recipe and Ive enjoyed your and You. Your voice is is relaxing. Thank You for the detail and love you put into it. Jesus Loves and and Grandpa. 🎉
You are so welcome. We are sorry to hear to have a stomach bug. We hope you are feeling much better. Take Care! Love and Blessings Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨🍳
So, basically u boil red potatoes for 25 min. let them cool, peel the skin, slice them in a pan. Grate onion over the top. Boil 2 c. cold water with 2 T. white vinegar till first boil only. Let cool. Mix some with mayonnaise to make creamy, then pour over potatoes. Super easy ! Can’t wait to try it! Thanks! 👍🌝
Yes, correct but you use as much onion as you like. When the water and white vinegar cools use a little at a time. You probably will not use it all. Enjoy❤️Grandma👩🏻
You forgot the oil and sugar.
Grandma Feral, I am looking forward to more of your aunt's deli recipes! As well as your own of course! Hi Grandpa! Love Neva
I've been on the west coast my entire 57 years but tried this recipe this afternoon, and I love it! Thank you!
Your so welcome. Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️Grandma👩🏻
Wonderful!! The America that we have known is so fast going away.
You have brought back so many memories for me. Hi to Grandpa..

Food for the gods! Thanks for sharing your recipe with us mere mortals! Have a pleasant month of August.😊
I will have to try this recipe. I love potato salad! My grandmas recipe simply had potatoes, Mayo, celery, and onion, salt and pepper. Sometimes she’d add bacon on top. My mom and I have made it like she did our whole lives, but I’m open to new things!
I hope you enjoy this recipe.❤️Grandma👩🏻
What a sweet grandma and grandpa thank you for sharing your recipe ❤. God bless you both 🙏✝️

Looks yummy. Good for a nice picnic. Good to see you again. My good friend, lives in Brooklyn N.Y. I’ll have to try this . Bless you all. 🙏🏻💙🌈
We have potato salad a lot in the summer. Great for a picnic as long as you keep it cool. Glad you will make this version. Love & Blessings Grandma
Loved hearing about your family and childhood. I remember that scrubber and Fuller Brush. I'm going to make this. Our Mothers worked so hard. Worked at the business and then worked at home. Of course, mothers still work at the business and at home.
I know my Mother worked very hard at a very young age to help support the family. My Mother also helped her Mother cook for her large family. I don’t think the Mothers work as hard today because you can order take out meals or eat out. Years ago you made all your meals from scratch. Every Sunday your Mother would make a big meal like it was a holiday. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
Love this! Brings childhood memories of Brooklyn. ❤️🤗
Glad this video brought back some memories.👩🏻
I tried this recipe without any changes and it came out excellent! (I did add some salt) I felt like I was back visiting NYC again. My friends late Mother and Aunt grew up in that neighborhood, also our neighbor here. Thanks for the recipe.
I am happy to hear you made this recipe that you felt you were back visiting NYC. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
Hi Grandma, your video was the first in my feed so I watched. I love traditional recipes! I lost my Grandma years ago and I have a recipe box full of her recipes, I'm going to check out your other videos. 🥰It looks like a perfect potato salad. You have another grandchild added to your subscribers. 💖
Hi Jennifer welcome and I am honored to have another grandchild. I am sorry to hear you lost your Grandma but how wonderful that you have a recipe box full of her recipes. That is something to treasure. My Grandma never made anything from a recipe. She would just make everything from scratch with no measurements and it was always delicious. When she passed she left no written recipes. Thank you so much for watching and have a great day❤️Grandma👩🏻
The nostalgia and memories shared in this video got me in the feels. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Have a nice day❤️Grandma👩🏻
Great! Ex Long Islander here, gone for 33 years and nothing better than NY Deli food. Thank you.
My pleasure and thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
❤❤❤
I really enjoyed this video and the potato salad looks fantastic! The steps you showed are helpful and I also liked your stories including your Aunt and what she used. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching👩
I remember the Fuller Brush man. My mom always bought something from him just to help him out. He came by once a year. We lived out in the country. Memories 🙂❤️
Thank you for sharing your memories of the Fuller Brush man. Have a nice day❤️Grandma👩🏻
Thanks so much for the recipe Grandma, can't wait to try 😋
You are so welcome. Hope you enjoy❤️Grandma👩🏻
No wonder you’re such a good cook 👩🍳 Grandma! It run in the family’s genes, 🍰😀
Thank you👩
Fresh parsley goes well with this white potato salad! It looks delicious!
Yes at the time I had no fresh parsley otherwise I would have put it on top for a garnish. Thanks for sharing and watching👩
Those beautiful hands of a ladie that works for her family❤❤❤
Yes they are❤️Grandma👩🏻
I don’t even wash the potatoes before putting them into the pot to boil for potato salad! I must be the laziest cook alive! We had a brush like this lady used. What a memory! Enjoyed this video very much!
Hi I wash them because of the pesticide residue left on the potatoes. I am glad you enjoyed my video. Thank you so much for watching.❤️Grandma👩🏻
Made this tonight. Came out yummy but I tweaked the recipe a bit. Added 3 extra Tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 4 extra Tbsp vinegar not to the pot but to the potatoes themselves when cut up. and had to boil an extra 5 min on high bc potatoes were still slightly crunchy inside. It had a nice authenic german potato salad taste in the end just the way I like it. Thank you for sharing again =)
Glad you made the recipe to your liking. Thank you for watching👩
Grandma Feral, thanks so much for this wonderful video. I will definitely do my potato salad just like this next time we have it. I love these old style recipes that are passed down & the deli photos were lovely. My daughter is currently living & working in New York (renting in Brooklyn) & I hope there are still good delis there for her to enjoy. I also like your accent, have been to the USA several times & love the place & the people. Best wishes from Sydney, Australia
Hi Jenny Welcome I am happy to hear you are watching my video from Sydney, Australia. The photos are the Delis my Aunt and Uncle owned years ago in Brooklyn. I have not been to Brooklyn in awhile but I am sure they have some good Delis and restaurants. How nice that your daughter is living and working in New York. Enjoy the potato salad and have a nice day❤️Grandma👩🏻
I love old recipes and stories from past thank you for sharing your love of family made tears in my eyes that you loved her so 🌹💋💎🇺🇸✨🙏❤️
Glad you enjoyed it❤️Grandma👩🏻
Love it. It looks just great. Thanks. I do love deli potato salad. Simple and delicious
You are so welcome❤️Grandma👩🏻
I have those same bowls you used (green and white)...of course, I had to buy them at an antique shop and I really enjoy using them whenever I cook----Fuller still sells that brush if anyone wants one... This looks good and I would garnish with dill and I love how big the slices are----so many recipes out there look like mashed potato salad!
Glad to hear you have the same bowls. They last forever and are my favorite. Thank you for letting me know Fuller still sells the brush. It was nice that I received mine free when I placed an order. The potato salad would be good with dill or garnished with parsley. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
This is very different from my family's recipe. Definitely going to try this one. TFS 💜
Glad to hear you will be making this recipe. Thank you for watching and Have A Good Day👩🏻
Thank you so much for sharing your family recipe❣️ How delightful your Auntie is❗️God bless 🕊️
You are so welcome❤️Grandma👩🏻
Thank you😊. Love the stories as you cook❤
Glad you like them! Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
I learned about the Fuller brush man from this video, and my partner found me one for an early Christmas present! This recipe was also wonderful, I swapped the onion for shallot and added some dill. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for sharing and for watching👩
What an interesting story to go with that nice and easy recipe :-)
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, those are treasured stories that you shared as well
Thank you for watching 👩🏻
My grandma made a beautiful potato salad. This video brought me a lot of peace. Thank you.
Glad my video brought you peace and thank you for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
Looks delicious, but wanted to check it was 1 tsp. Sugar as it looked more like 1 Tbsp. Hope you share any other recipes from the deli. You are so blessed to have your scrubber still and her recipe and apron. I found new Fuller brushes like yours on eBay...unused. Hope they’re passed on to others in your family.
It was a tsp sugar added but you can add a little more if you like. My Aunt gave me a lot of her items before she passed away. Thank you for watching👩
Those delis were glorious and I saw Hydrox's name on the one. Sealtest made the best ice cream. I do miss the old delis and their charm. Great story about the Fuller Brush man and your old brush. It was built to last. My mom had one and I assumed it was for cleaning the dishes. Learned something new. Thank you. It looked good.
I remember as a young child going to my Aunt & Uncles Delis. They also lived in an apartment in Brooklyn that had railroad rooms three flights up. When I would have a spring break from school my Aunt would take my cousin and I to Radio City Music Hall to see a movie and a show on stage. These are memories I will never forget. Thank you for watching👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral Oh, that is wonderful. I have never heard of railroad rooms before and researched it. Interesting.
We lived on the New Jersey side in North Bergen and that is the way my Dad made his potato salad.
Glad to hear your Dad made the potato salad the same way. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
Oh yes! The best!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching👩
I grew up on eastern Long Island, in rural potato country. We didn't grow potatoes, but we always had a 50 lb bag of them (eastern all-purpose white variety) in the basement, that Dad had traded a bushel or two of tomatoes (or peppers, eggplant, zucchini, etc.) for. I ate a LOT of potatoes --- and potato salad --- growing up!🥔🍅
Our typical recipe variant: chopped celery and onions, dressing of mayo, white vinegar, S&P, celery seed. To this I sometimes now add a good squeeze of sriracha.🌶️ Late in life, Dad came up with a new and very unexpected variant: he substituted fresh lime juice for the vinegar---sounds like a weird pairing, but it works! My uncle, who loved visiting New Orleans, made a southern potato salad version with a mayo/yellow mustard base, and I think onions (scallions?) and celery. Might have had relish in it, I don't remember any more, but it was good, too.
Ooh, a Grandpa Feral visual perspective on the taste test! Neat touch!
Thanks for sharing. I will try the fresh lime juice and other ingredients as we like potato salad especially in the summer👩
@@GrandmaFeral My gran always used apple cider vinegar in her potato salad and coleslaw/waldorf salad recipes. Of course, we lived in WA, which is a big apple region.
@@GrandmaFeral The lime juice was a real secret ingredient-- gives the potato salad a little extra freshness you don't expect, and makes you wonder, 'Oh! What IS that? I can't tell, and I don't care. Yum!'😋
I use cider vinegar in my cucumber salad and in beet salad pretty much exclusively. Dad stuck to his white vinegar for his cukes, but it was too medicinal for Mom and I, as he used too much. We thought he might be doing that deliberately to keep the salad for himself!😉 (I like a lot of vinegar, too, but mine is more in balance with the other ingredients, and the cider vinegar gives it more complexity.)
Mom loved making Waldorf salad, too, but I don't recall the dressing, other than it was very simple, probably little more than mayo. Maybe some lemon to prevent oxidation of the apples, a little S&P. I'll have to try that again come fall, see if I can work out her recipe from memory. Do you toast your walnuts? I don't remember us bothering.
@@chezmoi42 oops, chez, that last comment about cider vinegar was meant for you. Also, do you toast your walnuts for the Waldorf salad?
I’m totally making this but using vegan Mayo! Thank you for sharing her recipe! Will you be sharing more of her deli recipes? I bet she had a ton of good ones! 😃
When they had the deli they only made a few salads and sold a lot of sandwiches. They made more of their money on lunches. Back when they had the Deli there was no fast food restaurants.👩🏻
Just made this today for the 4th...and wow it brings me back fantastic taste!! Thank you for sharing it!!
I also made the potato salad for the 4th. I am glad to hear you liked the taste. Thank you so much for watching👩🏻
The story of the Fuller brush man, brought back memories. I’m 73 and remember him coming to the house. That was a time when they made things to last. I hope we have better made things. Not just gadgets, but refrigerators, stoves, washers and dryers., nothing last today. My mothers refrigerator lasted 30 years. Best wishes ♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hi I enjoyed reading your comment and I agree with everything you said. It is so true today nothing is made to last and everything is not inspected like years ago. When you purchased clothes years ago it was sewn perfect. You would never find an imperfection. Glad you also remember the Fuller brush man. Thank you so much for watching and have a nice day❤️Grandma👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral so nice reading your comment. My Mother Stitched clothing, in Boston, Massachusetts. It was mens uniforms. If I remember correctly Police and Firefighters. When we would go shopping down town Boston, she would show me what to look for in the clothing. The fabric, how the pattern was matched in the fabric. , how the seams were finished, the zippers stitched. Button holes and buttons secured. To this day I always look at the fabric, if it’s matched, sown well. Nothing like it use to be. I hope we get back to better quality clothes, shoes etc. Best wishes ♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@GrandmaFeral sorry I wanted to thank you for your video, and potato salad recipe. We had a great Jewish deli, in Chelsea, Massachusetts. My Dad would surprise us at midnight with corned beef sandwiches. He could only afford two, on his way home from work. Him and my Mom would share one, and three of us kids would share the other. They were piles high with beautiful corned beef, on a giant bulkie roll. What a treat. Wasn’t often, but loved when he did it. That Deli was there and I took my kids there over the years, until it closed. We so need these Mom and Pop, Deli’s. They were the best. I moved away from the area, was a small Deli here, but they too have closed. Best wishes ♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
These recipes are not to be altered. The point is, times were hard for a lot folks, so 'adding' meant money.
Green beans & bread/butter make this a cheap nutritious meal. 👵
Thank you for sharing and watching👩
Great recipe. I love potato salad.
Wow, Fuller Brush, Sealtest Iced Cream on the sign by the deli. Memories of a Philadelphia childhood. Lived abroad for a couple decades now and this brings back the old days. xx
Hi I think of how few brands of ice cream we had growing up compared to now. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
Amazing!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you for watching👩
This sounds so good, but I can't eat onions or garlic. Do you have any other spice or vegetable recommendations to get a similar flavor?
Thank you for watching. You can use the herb chives in place of the onion👩
I do have a suggestion for you! If you live anywhere the 'noxious invasive weed' garlic mustard* grows, you can pick the young leaves or flowers and chop them up for a seasoning, or add to sour cream or cream cheese for a spread, sauce, or dip.
Like mustard, it is a member of the cabbage family, so it will not cause the same problems you have with the onion family. The flavor truly is a wonderful mix of mustard and garlic. It does not withstand long cooking, as the flavors are volatile, so cook it quickly or use it as a last-minute garnish when serving it in hot dishes like soups or omelets. There are a lot of recipes for it.
It is a native plant in Europe, and we prize it highly. I'm a forager, so for me the best way to get revenge on a 'weed' is to eat it if you can. 💚

I remember the Fuller Brush man and the door to door encyclopedia salesman and more from the 50’s. That for this old time recipe! I also remember the mailman going into one house on a regular basis for “coffee”.
I also remember when the Doctor would come to the house. What nice memories. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral me too! What a different time. I think that we are lucky to have experienced those things and more and what great and strong parents and grandparents we had! Please keep up your videos! By the way, I am first generation American and am glad to have the old country parents and grandparents even though as a kid it was sometimes difficult…Best wishes. Stay cool. It’s very hot here today and hotter tomorrow. Glad that I have AC that we never had then.
I LOVE IT!!!
Great history!!
Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it❤️Grandma👩🏻

My grandma had a luncheonette years ago. I remember mixing the potato salad and macaroni salad by hand in a plastic dishpan as a youngster. These salads were so delicious!!! I gain a few pounds just remembering. Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing about your Grandma having a luncheonette. You must of enjoyed mixing the salads and tastings them. Thank you for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
I love seeing different recipes for potato salad, which is a dish I adore. I remember trying my Aunt Carol's salad when I was 15 and crying, "Aunt Carol! This is so good! What is your *recipe?* " Let the potatoes cool with a little vinaigrette in the fridge, *then* add the creamy dressing. I've riffed on that for years!
Everyone who likes potato salad seems to have a favorite. Aunt Carol’s is your favorite potato salad like my Aunt’s is to me. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
