Potato Salad

[foodqueen1]

I live in LA and have run the discussion on what's the best potato salad in LA. All that were suggested I have sampled. Nate'n Al's Deli had a fabulous one for 30 years and then they changed it...

So forget it - cannot get great potato salad at a restaurant.

WHAT are your or your grandmother's, your mother's, your aunt's famous recipes????

I'm looking for creamy potato salad - not German potato salad.

Come on - let's find the perfect one!

The only thing I like and enjoy at Philippes is the potato salad.

I've taken a liking to the potato salad at Market Grill, which is not exactly creamy or German... but if restaurants are out, wouldn't this query be better suited to the Recipe boards?

Market Grill's potato salad was what came into my mind too until I saw that the OP was seeking creamy potato salad!

A third vote for the Market Grill. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/756300#6199127

i love the potato salad at auntie ems kitchen in eagle rock. it's sooo good. creamy and delish! best i've ever had.

[The Chowhound Team]

Given that some locals have responded with local venues to find potato salad we are leaving this thread on the L.A. board. We recommend that foodqueen1 repost this query on the Home Cooking board in order to garner recipe responses and that any Chowhounds with recipes respond on the Home Cooking thread.

Thanks

Two places came to mind. Les Sister's in Chatsworth. And Brent's Deli in Northridge. Both creamy and good.,

As for L.A. area restaurant potato salad, my vote goes to:

Raku. Hands down.

Clementine has great potato salad However, it is considered a seasonal item (Summer) and will only be available for another 2 weeks.

When did Nate 'n Al's change their potato salad? Last time I was there, not too long ago, it was the same.

[foodqueen1]

Look, I explained that I had sampled every potato salad on the board discussion...Have not tried the ones in Monrovia since I'm not even sure how to drive there.
I am new to this site. I see that there are very specific rules that one must follow and therefore i shall review those and not bother anyone anymore.

[ns1]

you said "all that were suggested were sampled"

HTF are we supposed to know what was suggested?

[paprkutr]

All you have to do is repost your request for a recipe on the home cooking site. I like mine with mayo, lots of h/b eggs, sp, and little mustard and chopped onions. Go from that.

> I see that there are very specific rules that one must follow

The rules aren't too onerous or restrictive. Basically, if you stay on-topic and civil and don't spam, you'll be fine. The moderators are quick to move threads if they're off-topic. Anything that's not specifically about LA -- home recipes, for example -- normally gets moved to one of the more general boards.

If you want to know the "letter of of the law", the posting etiquette guide is here:

In all of the L.A area I have found just three places that serve a potato salad that I like.

Yorkshire Grill
Philippe's
Billy's Deli in Glendale

I modeled my own recipe after the version at Phillipe's

I guess you're looking for recipes not restaurants?
The bacon potato salad at Cole's is pretty great.
The LA Times has the recipe here: http://www.latimes.com/features/food/...
