I grew up on this Russian classic version of potato salad called Olivier. Combine: boiled veg, cubed (potatoes, beets, and carrots); chopped raw onions, pickles, hard boiled eggs, ham or smoked chicken; drained canned peas. Add mayo, sour cream and s&p to taste (can also add mustard). Mix well and let stand in fridge for a couple of hours. So good!
In my country (an island in the Caribbean far far away from Russia) we have a Russian salad that is basically what you described minus the ham/chicken and sour cream, I wonder if someone from back there brought it here? 🤔😅
@@Linda7647 depends on the recipe, for this I would use it, or something like spicy mayo for sushi. But for like sandwiches/burgers just use regular mayo.
@@angiesphalanges1960 Exactly. I didn't guess she would say that, but as soon as she did, I thought, "Of course you did, Emmy." (My dad was potter so it's all the more pleasing.)
My sister is listening while I watch you and she said "When you watch her, I always think she sounds like a tiny cute pixie." I told her she was spot on and sent her a link to your channel. And I am now wishing I had a big bowl of potato salad. 😋
When my ex-husband was very young, his family didn’t have much money. They lived on a 1000-acre cattle ranch in the middle of Nowhere, Arkansas. So it was make do with what there was on hand (heck, it took 45 minutes to get to a grocery store!) My mother-in-law came up with some unusual recipes. Her potato salad consisted of potatoes, sliced green olives (with pimientos), diced sweet onion, bacon bits, shredded cheddar, mayo, salt & pepper. Sounds strange, but it’s really good! The sweet onion offsets the tangy olives, and bacon . . . who doesn’t love bacon? And like your recipe, Emmy, you can change it up depending on what’s in the larder.
My mom makes a potato salad with red onion, red apple, carrots, hard boiled eggs, peas, and pickles. Uses mustard, mayo and a tiny bit of sour cream along with Salt and Pepper to add flavor and make it creamy. It's all chopped up into teeny tiny squares and I absolutely love it.
I am first-generation Southern Californian. Raised by Upstate New Yorkers. A few years ago migrated to Texas. My grandmother came to visit, and I made her potato salad. I was worried cuz I couldn't find best foods. So I grabbed Hellman's knowing it was the best mayonnaise I could find since I left Cali. I apologize to my grandmother for only having Hellmann's. She laughed and said east of California Hellman's is best foods. I know it was that blue ribbon that made me go for it😉
Thank you for always putting so much effort to make cool videos for us ! I always watch ALL your videos and I never comment because I don’t really speak english well enough to write confidently 😅 But anyway, I love your content 💖
Same with Classico spaghetti sauce lids... Fit perfectly on a narrow mouth Mason jar. We like to put them on a half pints filled with yogurt parfaits. Frozen Palisade peaches, anyone?
It's weird to me that people need to be convinced mayo can replace eggs and oil in a cake recipe without being noticed. What do they think mayo is made of?
@@sofiamoreira4320 lol my kids love my mashed potatoes, when one of my girls were older /married , she asked for recipe. She said mom i wish you wouldn’t have told me that lmbo
my (very Caribbean) mom makes her potato salad in a similar semi-mashed way, but she just uses a fork to smoosh the pieces a bit before adding the extras, including some chopped boiled eggs. it is the only potato salad i'd ever eat.
@Dominique Deveaux my mom does the relish too. it is a nice counterpoint to the mayo. i'm not really a fan of things slathered in mayo, so that relish is probably a major factor in why hers is the only potato salad i allow past my lips.
@Dominique Deveaux Yes! My potato salad is a meal in itself. Egg, onion or shallot, ham or some kind of smoked meat, corn - must have the corn, relish, a little mustard, paprika, maybe celery, a nice waxy potato, mayo not miracle whip. Optional - peas, shredded carrots. I'm from Jamaica and potato salad, in my memory, has always been full of tings. Same for the rest of the Caribbean?
My Mom made a to die for chocolate mayonaise cake with vanilla frosting. Probably my first dessert memory as a child and I am 68 years old. Thankfully, my two younger sisters, 13 and 15 years younger than me, have the recipe.
I've made japanese potato salad every year for the past 8 years and I never thought to use dashi...makes perfect sense! The umami flavors you get from dashi are a perfect compliment to the flavors in this dish. I think I will try making dashi stock and boiling my potatoes in it.
"I like peeling potatos"- Words I have never put together in my life ! Am I the only one who would literally still be peeling one potato in the time it takes Emmy to do 4 :ooooooooooooooooooo
Potato salad is honestly one of my favorites. Especially when my mom makes it. She always adds cubed green apples to it and it’s always tastes amazing!
I went to middle school with a boy who’s mom was born and raised in Japan. She made salad like this for all of our potluck dinners and also his birthday parties. My mom got the recipe from her because we loved it. And my Nonna actually loved it. So after we got the recipe, my mom was always asked to make it for our picnics. So ya. My huge Italian family loved this Japanese inspired potato salad. lol!
A nearby restaurant used to have an occasional special. They called it Fallout Soup. Asked them why. Whatever falls out of the fridge when the door is opened goes in it.
I did the opposite...grew up on the East Coast w/Hellmann's and moved West into Best Foods territory. It's so funny that brands have different names in different parts of the country. Oroweat and Arnold bread, as well as Dreyer's and Edy's ice cream also are the same!
Hmm. I may have to try that. Adding mayo to ramen is not something I've ever heard of doing before, but people add an egg sometimes, so it is similar to that.
It's funny, I clicked this video LITERALLY because I just bought Kewpie for the first time about a month ago, heard about japanese potato salad, and figured she'd use it here. Then I heard hellman's. :P Ah well.
I accidentally made a version of this once when I was making normal potato salad and overcooked my potatoes- it was lovely! I love stuff like this because it's so easy to make it vegan by just changing the mayo.
Emmy a little cheat for your salted boiling water would be to add the salt once the water has started boiling. Adding salt before the water is boiling takes longer to bring to a boil. Once your water is boiling, adding the salt will bring the temperature higher faster
I went to a small popular Japanese restaurant and ordered a potato salad just looked like yours, it's so good, I never thought it's simple as this, thank you for sharing your recipe
This salad looks delicious and very helpful, something very simple and what we can do with what we have in our fridge if we innovate, thank you very much x share friend
Perfect timing! I have been wanting to make potato salad for weeks now. So, I probably have the basics to make one. Let's see what yours is about 😉 Thanks Emmy!
definitely gonna try this this week! I'm working again and this looks like a delicious thing to bring to lunch as a sandwich, both filling and delicious!! thank you emmy!!
I think potato salad is one of those dishes where everyone has a favorite version. My personal favorite is yellow potatoes, zesty italian dressing, carrot, green pepper, onion, mayo, garlic, pepper, hard boiled egg, dijon mustard and horse radish. Delicious.
Mayonnaise is an emulsion of eggs and oil, of course you could make a cake with it. It also makes for a great grilled cheese, using the mayo in place of butter as the lubricant/browning agent on your bread.
Over here in Romania people do a version of this called 'Boeuf Salad'. It is a MUST on every major holiday, its decorated on platters and stuff. It is so fancy and so kitschy and people looove it :) I remember my mother very carefully dicing what seemed to me like huuge amounts of boiled vegetables, pickles, sometimes chicken breast, always making the mayo by hand, then she would plate it - always putting an olive in the middle and then doing patterns with egg white and pickled peppers. Funny
Perfect timing ! We've been eating lots of Potato Salad lately and now I can try this ! Looks delicious ! Having grown up in L.A. and always used Best Foods Mayo .I now live in Ohio and use Hellmann's Mayo only to find out its really Best Foods? !!! Surprised me ! My compliments to the Chef...Emmy.
I respect that Emmy needs to make those coins to keep serving us wonderful content day after day. But we know that potato salad would taste even better with Kewpie! 😉🤫
I made a variation on yours, using those awesome Japanese sweet potatoes, bacon, orange bell pepper , green onion and mayo. It was fantastic. Thanks for the great idea. Mine reminded me a little of German potato salad.
Love Japanese style potato salad!! I make it for my meal prep all the time. I also love putting a can of tuna in it, so goooood. Bonus if you use kewpie mayo it makes it extra good!
Japanese-style potato salad is believed to be derived from the Olivier Salad/Ensalada Rusa which was introduced from Europe to Japan during the late 1800s.
Emmy: For those who've been wondering where I got this lovely knife set from, I actually forged it by fire myself! 😂😂 is there anything the amazing Emmy can not do?? I don't think so 😍
I mix in Hellmann's mayo with the Ricotta and other cheeses for the creamiest manicotti filling. Yum! I bought Dashi a couple months ago at Costco thinking, "I bet Emmy uses this." Now I'm totally stoked I see her using it in a recipe I can make. Feels like a big win to stock the pantry with an unusual but interesting ingredient and then to actually use it while it's still fresh. 🏆
As soon as I saw the mayo was Hellman's I could hear their jingle 🎶"Bring out the Hellman's, bring out the best🎶 It absolutely is the only brand I'll ever use. I use it for coating oven fried chicken, tenders or pork chops along. A half cup to a cup of Hellman's with an egg or two depending on how much meat, whip them together, addseasoning let the meat sit 5 mins up to overnight. Then cover with a parm/bread crumb mixture and bake as usual. The most flavorful and moist result every time. 👩🏻🍳❣
I love potato salads and macaroni salads soooo much. The one i like best is the one my mom made for us growing up when we didn't have a lot of money to spare. Im not sure where it comes from but my mom comes from Mexico lol it has Boiled chicken, canned veggies, canned corn, mayo, and sometimes macaroni. I find that only people that grew up with it like it and others think it's strange 😂
Hi Emmy, in Slovakia we eat potato salad as a main dish for Christmas! We use potatoes, onion, carrot, peas, pickles and mayo (salt+pepper ofc) and we eat it with fried carp.
Ahhh my boyfriend is Japanese and this was one of the first things he ever made me (sans ham). I was super skeptical at first when I saw the cucumber, but oh my god it’s my favorite potato salad now.
I seen that shredder on Amazon for eight, or eleven dollars. My wife watches this, an says "Look at Emmy cut. You don't cut like that." Yes I know, Emmy is perfect.
Okay... so.... this really intrigued me... but as a person who is following the Keto dietary lifestyle, I am currently avoiding potatoes ... SO... I decided to make this as a fauxpotato salad... I used cauliflower cooked to tender, and mashed them similarly to how the potatoes are done here.. next time I will try it with white/purple turnip... well! The result was awesome! I can only Imagine how delicious this is made with potatoes! Thanks for the inspiration Emmy! And the dashi is just the right touch!
Okay I have the *ULTIMATE TIP* truly, I’m giving away gold here. *Tamanoi Sushi Noko Vinegar* is a powdered-type Japanese vinegar specially developed for sushi rice, it’s a small package of powdered vinegar and costs a couple bucks at most, and goes a long way. So while the potatoes are still HOT- but cooked- sprinkle this all over them. Yup- you’ll thank me later! I have made potato salad for people who don’t like potato salad and they come back for more! Of course- season your salad same as normal just no need for vinegar if you add it normally. I will say also, I add some sugar to my potato salad base as a tip from the Koreans and all with this vinegar seasoning- it really makes such a delightful balance! The other tip is I use a steamer for my potatoes 🥔- I cut them into halves and this way- I don’t end up with mush in the end- I like some chunks left. Lastly- Kewpie Mayo is my go to for this style of potato salad, but beware- it’s more vinegary than Americans Hellman’s as Emmy used Edited to add: first time you use this- sprinkle lightly till you find out how much you like....
@@Youhavetoread yes! I love German potato salad too! That’s also how my dad made it- which he learned from his German mother. I accidentally came across this because I was low on vinegar & had already prepped all the ingredients, so I thought 🤔 and the beauty is that it allows me to enjoy that tart n tangy taste without extra liquid to deal with
