That trick with pushing the eggs through a wire rack is a game-changer!
-
I always enjoy Frank's 101 videos. He has such a kind and patient energy about him, makes him an excellent teacher.
-
Instead of vinegar, I throw in diced pickles. YUM! Such a simple side, yet so enjoyable. 💛
-
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)
-
I always mix the mayo, salt pepper, vinegar, etc really well before adding to the potatoes and eggs. Better overall distribution of seasoning.
-
The wire rack hard boiled egg thing is genius!
-
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
-
Frank’s videos make me feel like I’m a much better cook than I deserve to be.
-
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 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.
-
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.
-
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. 🥹
-
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.
-
This is the first time I have seen anybody putting olives in potato salad.
-
Simple, straight forward, all talking is meaningful. LOVE this.
-
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!
-
Who would have thought there were so many tips for making potato salad. Well done.
-
frank is the GOAT! egss through the rack is awesome, i can't believe I've never seen this before
-
Nobody makes potato salad like a mama. ❤ My mom's will always be my go to.
-
I love putting paprika on egg potato salad (the sweet Hungarian kind)
