In the great tradition of controversial topics on this forum (such as the infamous Salad Dressing Poll), today I raise perhaps one of the most divisive topics of modern times. Should potato salad be eaten Hot or Cold?

I did not vote on this one because potato salad never agreed with me! The boiled eggs in it make me ill ! Sorry Atoz!!

I've voted cold as thats the only way I've ever encountered it, and the potato salad I've had doesn't have egg in, it well not the hard boiled variety at least...lol ;D

Okay, the potatoes have to be cooked, obviously (the eggs, too, if you include them). So when it's freshly made, potato salad is hot, or at least warm. Most people then refrigerate it before serving. I happen to think it never tastes better than when it's fresh off the stove. I even put chilled potato salad in the microwave to heat it up again (causing a lot of people to look at me strangely).

Never thought of trying it hot..... might give it a go next time we are lucky enough to have the right weather for a BBQ ( the only time I eat it )

I had to go along with the famous Klingon proverb...
<<<Potato salad is a dish best served cold.>>>

Ah, very nice! But there is also the famous Vulcan proverb, from the "Precepts of Surak", just between "Close the door, were you born in a barn?" and "There is no time like the present" -- "Eat your dinner while it is hot."

I've never tried it hot...so my vote went for cold. BUT, thanks to your poll I'm gonna give it a try!

I think the pertinant question here is: what is potato salad and just how much salad does it contain? I don't like many vegetables. I imagine I'd prefer it hot since I don't like the idea of cold potato really.
