When you think of potato salad, most people think of Christmas Eve dinner. It is normal that the salad is prepared a little differently in every family.

A true Czech potato salad basically consists of boiled potatoes, eggs, pickles, carrots, parsley, celery, onion and mayonnaise. Other ingredients that can be found in various recipes are ham, peas or mustard. It is typically served cold.

Potato salad goes best with schnitzel, and during the Christmas it is traditionally served with carp (or other fish) or sausage. If you want to make a lighter version of this hearty side dish, try replacing the mayonnaise with plain yogurt.

Potato salad is certainly not the privilege of the Czech Republic alone. It is also very popular in Austria, where it is prepared in the form of Viennese potato salad, or in Germany, or even in the United States.
