  Where is all this hate for potato salad coming from???

    The United States. Apparently it’s a very niche thing over there 🤷

      The weird thing is that it’s super commonplace over here, so lots of people do enjoy it. There are a lot of different kinds of potato salad and I’m betting the mega-Karen in the OP is referring to the kind that is pretty much just potatoes in mayo (which, for the record, is disgusting).

      Maybe I’m lucky because I live near Pennsylvania Dutch country, but there’s an abundance of good potato salad here.

      not at all, it’s a summertime staple in many places. Unfortunately it’s also fucking gross, right up there with coleslaw - you took something good, like a tater or some lettuce AND FUCKED IT ALL UP and left it wet and nasty.

        I most certainly did NOT! Danish potato salad is fucking delicious! Nothing like the miracle whip and corn syrup monstrosity that’s being referred to here!

      I think it’s because of Americanized potato salad. The kind with miracle whip and tons of corn syrup. I’ve had mayo based salads like this and it makes me want to puke (as an American lol)

      I think this plays with the stereotype that weird eccentric middle aged people like weird/gross food. Sort of like jello salad coincidentally (search it up, it is foul).

        🤮 That’s not potato salad! I demand a reinheitsgebot like with German beer!

        That’s fair

  Potato salad is fucking amazing and I will die on this hill

  I’ll take it one step further and say potato salad CAN be downright delicious when made well… I have also had potato salad so bad that it caused me to have an existential crisis about how I ended up where I was, eating what I was, and I had to pause to reconsider my life’s choices.
