Answer 2

Egg Salad is chopped up hardboiled eggs, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, maybe some mustard or some pickle relish.

Potato Salad
5 lbs red potatoes
3 ribs celery, cut up
1 bunch green onions, sliced thin
1/3 c. cider vinegar
salt and pepper
1 c mayonnaise, more or less to taste

cook potatoes, then lay on a platter to cool. while still hot, cut into pieces. don't worry about the skins. sprinkle with vinegar, salt and pepper. when cool add the rest and mix it up, adjusting the seasoning if necessary

You can put hardboiled eggs in potato salad if you want. but I don't like it that way myself.

Answer 3

Well down south, it's pretty standard - egg salad is only eggs & will never have potatoes in it, but potato salad almost always has boiled eggs as well. Onions are optional in either dish.
For my potato salad, I like to take baby red potatos, halve & cook over medium heat til fork tender. Drain and cool, then place in large mixing bowl. In smaller bowl, mix together your favorite mayo ( I use Kraft), spicy mustard, a little horseradish, pickle relish, garlic powder and salt & pepper. Add hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped to potatoes, then pour over dressing & gently toss. Top with boiled egg slices, green olives & paprika........A must for any southern bbq!!

Answer 4

Well, egg salad doesn't have potatoes in it, but potato salad DOES have eggs in it.

ANJA'S EGG SALAD

10 eggs
2 onions
1 tomato
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 thick slices cooked ham

Put eggs into boiling water and boil for 10 minutes. Dump hot water and let cold water run over eggs for a few minutes, this makes taking off the shells much easier!
Let eggs cool down and take off the shells. Chop onions and tomatoes in small chunks and place in a bowl. Cut ham into 1/2" pieces and combine with onions and tomatoes. Slice eggs with knife or egg slicer into small cubes and put in same bowl with the rest of the ingredients.

Put 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise in bowl and stir everything.

Chill in Fridge until serving! Enjoy

Answer 5

the secret to a good potato salad is how you cook your potatoes. peel and cube your potatoes in quarters put into a boiling pot of water I use about 6 large potatoes cook till soft but firm about 20 minutes don't over cook test with a fork. while your potatoes are cooking I boil about three eggs in boiling water for ten minutes till hard boiled. then I chop two stems of celery ,I chop a quarter of a white onion very fine unless you don't like onion then omit.I then chop about one cup of black olives or green with pimento I like green my spouse likes black. when potatoes are done drain all the water out completely you don't want the potatoes to be wet and soggy,I put them in a plastic bowl and let them cool or you can rinse them in cold water potatoes will continue to cook if you don't cool them off take well drained potatoes put into a large bowl add onion olives celery slice up two of the boiled eggs and put in with other ingredients now gradually add best food mayonnaise in clumps and mix in I also add regular mustard Frenches about a quarter cup and fold in then I put two slices of fried bacon crumble it and add to salad. I take the last boiled egg slice it and layer on top with salt and pepper and a little season all. everyone loves my potato salad. Bonn Appetite!

potato salad is made from potatos and eggs are mad from hardboiled eggs. Yet, they are both good.
