In college I came up with a dish made with rice, tuna and mayo, plus soy sauce and hot sauce, and eaten with crackers. It was a cheap meal.

TUNA?!?!

I know this lady. She thinks anything with cumin or Paprika in it is "too spicy"

Good for her that it takes so little to be happy!

I am a trash can.. I would try it.

Hmmmm. Diced cooked potatoes, chopped hard cooked eggs, fine diced celery, salt, pepper, mayo, mustard, turmeric salt, chopped stuffed olives, chopped bacon, diced onion, paprika, chopped parsley, etc..

What do you mean no seasoning? That's miracle whip, not mayo. /s

Have you tried Russian salad?

Any word on the ratio of ingredients?

I would not feed that to my komodo dragon

I'm choking on laughter. A komodo dragon birthday!
ingridwebb88
I'd taste it
nonojoejoe
This is just “rage bait” pure and simple… and I realize commenting, I’m just feeding into that - but that’s more tuna salad than it is potato salad.
LeekofLegend
I mean, you say that. But I 100% believe this is real given some of the shit I've seen (or had to eat)! I'deven bet money that Mormonism is somewhere in the family on this one 😂 who cares what anyone calls it, it's a goddamn travesty is what it is!
djangojazz
I had a guy bring in 'bologna boats' once to a potluck. That was quite possibly the most white trash disgusting thing I had in my life.
thedoorman42
Sounds about white.....(old white guy here...)
UnluckyLunkhead
Unpop op: I never put salt & pepper in cooking and if I eat out the food tastes like seaweed.
AlexSomething
That's not an opinion, you just have an unusual sense of taste/smell (not meant as an insult).
Salt reduces bitterness, enhances sweetness, it's more than just adding a salty taste, it improves food you put it in. Which is why even stuff that is not meant to be salty can have salt in it. Apparently even improves mouthfeel somehow (ie how the stuff you eat feel in your mouth, its texture.)
And seaweed has a very distinctive (rather strong) flavor that just salt or salt + pepper do not approach.
henryvk
Maybe you should stop calling jumping off the pier to fear on kelp “eating out” then

My Army unit tried to put on a potluck. Only we all lived in the barracks and did not have kitchens. Did not go well.

Hey. Seasonings are difficult. They make or break restaurants. I totally +1 this guy's effort.

Some people like trash. I mean, nickleback is still on the radio everyday...

And production execs still keep green lighting 'reality tv' series.

I like Nickleback, pineapple on pizza and the ending of The Sopranos. And it makes me happy that this makes self important snobs angry.
TheOldSchoolisBack
And they think the hate is hilarious. More power to them.
thatwoodguy
I think that potato salad is not yet finished until you add celery seed and a bit of horseradish to spice it up
causality
If I had a four-ingredient recipe my wife loved I wouldn't change that shit either. Fuck the haters.
mrsdowneyjr
I'm only laughing at the komodo dragon part. I like cooked noodles with a slice of kraft. I'll never hate on simplicity

We do a simple Mac and cheese bake. It's macaroni, extra-sharp cheddar, sour cream, cottage cheese and an egg. It tastes pretty dam good. I made 4 batches for different potlucks and I didn't have any leftovers.
nddstgm9gz12
How many ounces of macaroni per egg?
dohcohv
8oz dry macaroni, 8oz sour cream, 16oz cottage cheese, one egg, beaten, 2(or more) cups sharp cheddar. Cook macaroni at the minimum time on the box and drain, mix 3/4 of the cheese in with the cottage cheese, sour cream, egg, add the macaroni, put it in a backing dish, add the rest of the cheese to the top, sprinkle with some paprika for color if you want, set the oven to 350f and bake for 45min.
dohcohv
Make sure you grease the baking dish before adding the mixture.
friendsofsandwiches
Could be worse.
could have raisins in it.
ChicanoBatman
grapes which yes are technically raisins but either suck ass in a potato salad. Toss some celery in too. Let's go hog wild

friendsofsandwiches
THIS was the proper response.
TheOtherLucas
I think it could be worse if it had durian in it.....and cilantro.
friendsofsandwiches
I can't fucking handle Cilantro anymore. I dunno why
TheOtherLucas
I never could. Cilantro tastes like ozone, farts and sweaty socks that have been sitting on a radiator.....other than that, it's fine.
swedeonamoose
Hell at least put some dijon and dill in that sucker, and replace some of the mayo with creme fraiche or sour cream
somerandomusernamebecauseididntlikemyoldone
I agree with the first part, but nothing wrong with mayo, really depends on what else you are putting in there and how full you want that flavor to be
HoldThatTHOT
if someone puts creme fraiche or sour cream in egg salad and tries to serve it to me I will fight them
swedeonamoose
It was supposed to be a potato salad tho
HoldThatTHOT
So, just because something goes on a baked potato doesn't mean it goes in potato salad
ifyoutakemeseriouslythatsonyou
But...but it does. You don't leave out the mayo, you just replace some of it with creme fraiche and it IS better.
taez555
I think it stops technically being potato salad once you add tuna.
savemebabyjebus
more like a deconstructed fish pie, using mayo instead of cheese/bechamel sauce, and eggs for some god forsaken reason
TheRicM
What wrong, honey? You haven’t touched one bite of your potuna salad
SmeesNotVeryGoodTwin
It's the venn diagram center between egg salad, tuna salad, and potato salad, especially since every other ingredient from those respective salads has been omitted.
nachosyndicate
This. What in the actual F
LeonessaVista
Yeah, at that point it’s a tuna salad with potatoes in it
Hexrowe
Right? I mean, pickles, olives, or basically most savory plant matter is fine; bacon, smoked ham, almost any nice meat, that's fine, possibly even great. Lots of things you can put in a potato salad.
But tuna? It's a tuna salad now.
taez555
It's a weird but strangely logically distinction. Probably mostly to with the fish. The other meats add smoke and salt, but not a fishiness.
Grumptious
Oh! I really want to take this analysis and derive an overly formal definition. "If you put a food item into a potato salad and that food item is in the name of another kind of salad e.g. tuna salad, then it no longer qualifies as just potato salad."
ywmqm
I don't know, because I feel like you can have eggs in potato salad and still have it be potato salad. Not chicken, though.
Freemage69
I guess the flip question is, what happens if you add some potato to egg salad? If it becomes pptato salad, then we're just establishing a hierarchy. But if the salad type depends on the egg::potato ratio, then it's a lot messier.
Pyrokneticbeavr
I still want to know why we call mayo mixed with chunks of other stuff "salad"
eathotdog
Salad dressing is more salad than any other component
taez555
The same reason we call things suspended in a jello mold a salad.
Delathi
A salad is a dish consisting of mixed ingredients, frequently vegetables. They are typically served chilled or at room temperature.
mksu
To disrespect lettuce.

Nachos are a salad
GlenL

AbolishNuance
Grilled cheese is a salad
Pyrokneticbeavr
So if you jizz on creole seasoning and wood chips, it's a salad?
GlenL
If you add green onion, yes
distractedFreek
I guess because technically, mayo can be considered a dressing? https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1MXZ2aTllbjM1Z242MmVlNGRseHlxZmh1N2ppNG80azdpY3oweTR2MyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/XeXzWgD6P4LG8/200w.webp
Pyrokneticbeavr
I have a fantastic rabbit hole for you. It's only miracle whip that's a salad dressing because dukes and Hellman's lobbies to have it not considered mayo cause it had less sugar and they didn't want it to be marketed as a healthier mayo
Fendeezy
But mayo is not supposed to have sugar?
Pyrokneticbeavr
Maybe it was fat. It was something
Razade
Because the term salad simply referred to any cold dish with a salty dressing. The word salad comes to us from Latin "salata" or "salted". You can thank the Germans. Kartoffelsalat is what they call potato salad and it's where the U.S got it from.
mikeatike
TIL
ImLurkingOnImgur
You are welcome.
suckstoyourauntie
It comes from the Roman practice of dressing vegetables with salted oil, but yes, it just means salted. Still, feels wrong to call it a salad when there's no veggies to be seen.
Razade
Yes but the practice evolved. Also, potatoes. Famously known as meat. I guess.
InitHello
Potatoes aren't meat, though.
suckstoyourauntie
Truueee...I guess it qualifies as a veggie, though I think of it as a carb or a starch. I love potatoes as much as the next Hobbit. What about macaroni salad, then?
