Everyday

Potato salad is a chilled side dish featuring boiled potatoes as its base, typically dressed in mayonnaise or vinegar-based sauces and mixed with ingredients like celery, onions, or herbs. Regional variations range from creamy American versions to German-style preparations with bacon and mustard vinaigrettes. While naturally gluten-free, its calorie and fat content vary significantly depending on dressing choices, making ingredient awareness crucial for dietary tracking.
