(I believe it was called World's Best - or something like that.) It was so very strange and it garnered some of the most vehement comments! It used a dressing of raw eggs (well, they were briefly "saute-ed"), 1/2 cup of sugar, a can of condensed milk (!) and...other stuff...with a very small portion of mayo. Some commenters said that their mothers (grandmothers) had used this to stretch mayo during hard times. I was wondering what your take on this might be. I also put a little milk in mine to make the dressing more "wet", but a can of condensed milk?! Oh, and I, too, would like to see your mom's version of potato salad.

I often whip in a few tablespoons of low fat cream cheese, which has that almost-but-not-quite sweet flavor that cuts the tang of the yogurt. It also gives it a more luxurious texture (whether hot or cold) without adding much fat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-33246647717756569492010-05-20T10:29:14.435-04:002010-05-20T10:29:14.435-04:00Thanks for this!!!

It was a big success, with no left overs for me to bring home (darn it!) <br /><br />I almost always use a mayo/yoghurt mixture. However, I strain it to get the thicker Greek-style consistency. HINT: don't mess with cheese-cloth, use plain white hankies from the Dollar Store, they have a finer weave and they're reuseable.<br /><br />Thanks again Chef John ... never fails that I can find something "just right" from your site.

I guess the taste of mayo is too overwhelming. We tend to use many different dairyproducts, as it's an important part of our "nordic kitchen". One of the top restaurants in the world (NOMA - cph) use "milk-skin" in their dishes, but that is the playground in the form of molecular gastronomy :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-8018976304173130362009-06-04T14:03:55.365-04:002009-06-04T14:03:55.365-04:00Why do you salt the water when boiling potatoes?Why do you salt the water when boiling potatoes?Jesse from Detroithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08438636760352711305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-43162343486124906212009-06-04T11:25:26.987-04:002009-06-04T11:25:26.987-04:00Mayo can make the gall bladder upset.

Its is the combination of uncooked whole eggs (including egg whites)and soybean oil that goes rancid as the whipped stuff sits on the supermarket shelf. I would encourage this reader to try to make his own mayo afresh, with egg yolks only, with a good light oil - its pretty easy and the flavor is so much better.<br /><br />Yogurt-based potato salads: My complaint is that they don't store well because yogurts tend to separate whey and so they turn runny over time. And they do become more sour overnight because they contain a live culture that keeps fermenting the potato carbohydrates into lactic acid - so the best really is to finish them soon (The way to prevent this acidification would be to heat up the yogurt to kill the lactobacteria). Greeks make excellent yogurt salad dishes but they use a thick strained yogurt that does not separate that easily. The best common brand is Fage and they have excellent 2% low-fat version of it too. (Cabot and Stonyfield "Greek" yogurts are awful)milkshakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08188961610554710616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-61065453562223683522009-06-04T00:35:46.624-04:002009-06-04T00:35:46.624-04:00ingredients like love? just kidding. i bet your mo...ingredients like love? just kidding. i bet your mom's recipe must be wonderfull :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-32969595760463127162009-06-03T23:50:17.405-04:002009-06-03T23:50:17.405-04:00I may, but she uses ingredients you can't buy....I may, but she uses ingredients you can't buy.Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-77292182440448425542009-06-03T23:25:16.494-04:002009-06-03T23:25:16.494-04:00So how does your Mom make potato salad?
