elmo has a really great mayo-free recipe involving olive oil, garlic, lemon and parsley

― j lol (surm), Monday, 18 July 2011 16:09 (thirteen years ago)

I guarantee that you ate the potato salad I make you would like it. Not "maybe you'd concede it's ok." You would say, fuckin A, this is fucking delicious, potato salad you're all right as long as underrated aero is making it instead of somebody bringing it to a church picnic in a gigantic tub.

mayonnaise is disgusting and I don't need it to make an outstanding potato salad

Is there any acceptable use for mayo?

aside from making things extra delicious?

seriously there is no food more savage than mayonnaise and if on the morning I wake up in Hell big Satan is all "ok aero your punishment is now you have to either eat meat, or enjoy mayonnaise on a vegetarian meal once a day" I would say to him "wow you really are the devil and this is fucking Hell"

Quebecers use mayo on their fries too (when not covered in gravy and cheese curds)!

― karma's ruthless invisible (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 18 July 2011 16:14 (thirteen years ago)

Dan you should try German potato salad - no mayo!

Potato salad rules.

otm, potatoes that have been ejaculated on taste about as good as ones with mayo

― pathos of the unwarranted encore (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Monday, 18 July 2011 16:15 (thirteen years ago)

Mayo on fries is the greatest thing ever btw.

― ladies love draculas like children love stray dogs (ENBB), Monday, 18 July 2011 16:15 (thirteen years ago)

German potato salad uses actual salad dressing or something, right?

enbb otm. but it has to be the right fries. you can't pull this with McD's fries or anything.

― karma's ruthless invisible (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 18 July 2011 16:16 (thirteen years ago)

Mayo is AWESOME and should be tart and lemony and eggy, but I'll settle for Hellmann's if necessary.

I also hated potato salad, though, until I made it myself by the Cook's Illustrated recipe. WHICH STILL USES MAYO and is great. But I turned the onions into scallions. Maybe next time I'll turn them into garlic!

DTT - It's a vinegar based dressing and usually has bacon in it. Something along these lines: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/german-potato-salad/detail.aspx

― ladies love draculas like children love stray dogs (ENBB), Monday, 18 July 2011 16:17 (thirteen years ago)

I do like German potato salad! That was a revelation tbh.

over time I've even stopped digging ketchup on fries so going the ~~manbatter~~ mayo route just seems crazy unless you're also adding massively overpowering flavors like truffle oil

actually that could be its own thread; when will American cooks stop putting truffle oil on fucking everything

― Spotify, Spotify me (DJP), Monday, 18 July 2011 16:17 (thirteen years ago)

i don't like german potato -- it's TOO vinegary for me

Not all that nuts about potato salad, but I do like putting mayonnaise in baked potatoes.

― scraping wheatus off the wheel (NickB), Monday, 18 July 2011 16:25 (thirteen years ago)

and when i'm done that, DJP, i'm going to fill a cereal bowl with mayonnaise and slurp it down with the thickest straw i can find.

Im sure some salad dressings have teq or vod or similar as an ingredient. Not to drink, obviously but to eat at least. But then again...

I was just thinking about the logistics of that (kind of hate u for that ILX) and I don't even know if it's possible, since once the tampon absorbs a liquid, it increases in size and loses rigidity so it's no longer easily insertable.
