The recipe to my creamy and crunchy potato salad! Can there be a better accompaniment to braaied (barbecued) meat than this classic and much-loved favourite? There are so many variations to making this really easy salad, but the delicious simplicity of this one ensures that it will always have a spot at my table.


You can replace the potato spice with any other spice or seasoning that works well with potato salad, such as mustard, mixed herbs, or cayenne pepper. Or simply season only with salt and ground black pepper. Garnish with reserved celery, parsley, hard boiled eggs, and spring onions Serve with braaied (barbecued) meat and chicken; roast chicken; baked savoury pies; or a range of cold meat cuts.
