I, for one, am not a fan of “proper” potato salad because I dislike mayo.
I’ve never had this stuff, but it sounds much more interesting to me.
The fact that the store here keeps restocking it means someone must think it’s good enough to keep buying it lol
I agree. I just don’t know who that someone is when they can buy it fresh in the deli in the same store. But then some people obviously prefer Treet to Spam.

My grandma always makes both kinds for family gatherings (the mayo kind and the vinegar kind, vinegar being what she calls German potato salad). The way she makes it, the “sauce” part that coats the potatoes is bacon fat, vinegar and a little sugar.

Is the bacon fat and vinegar blended/emulsified? Is it served warm or cold? The flavors sound great, but I can’t picture how that’s not a messy puddle of grease and vinegar.

It’s emulsified like you’re making a vinaigrette and my grandma always serves it warm

Yeah I gotta get some of that. Sounds pretty good.

Fresh German potato salad doesn’t use mayo either. And it’s fresh.

Then I guess we’re talking about at least three unrelated types of food that are called potato salad.

I guess people who don’t like mayo? Or maybe people who grew up eating that style of potato salad? Maybe just doomsday preppers who want to stock up their shelters?
I live in the deep south and the deli aisles here sell like 3 or 4 different styles of fresh potato salad but all of them are like 50% mayo and sometimes I just want something different lol
