Sprinkle some soluble fiber power supplement in the SALAD. Potatoes have a high glycemic index. Eat potatoes, you'll absorb the starch VERY quickly. Your body won't know what to do with all that extra sugar so it may turn to fat. You'll also have too much insulin. Too much insulin flying around your blood stream is not healthy.

my mother makes german potatoe salad using red potaoes that she has left in the fridge overnight to sweeten before boiling. and try using a basalmic or salad vinager instead of white. it adds great flavor.

Wow I love the recipies. I'm sure to try them all. There are also some traditional delicious potato salads from Iran. It would be good to try them too.

The recipe for the Russian potato salad is for the most part correct except for the optional beets. This salad (called "Olivier" in Russia) never includes beets! There is a different Russian salad (called "Vinegret") that includes both potatoes and beets but it doesn't include eggs or peas, is usually seasoned with sunflower or olive oil rather than sour cream or mayonnaise, and can include other optional ingredients such as chopped raw onions or sauerkraut. A couple of other notes: the lemon juice/vinegar are optional, and you can just use mayonnaise instead of the mixture of mayonnaise and sour cream or yogurt. I think the reason they tell you to use part sour cream/yogurt is to make the dressing thinner, since Russian mayo is much thinner than American mayo - more like European-style yogurt that can be poured. However, Russian mayo has a bit more "kick" than American mayo because it includes a small amount of dry mustard powder.

In german potatoe salad I use equal amounts of water, vinegar and sugar. Leave out the mustard powder and use cornstarch as thickener. just pour "gravy" over potatoes and stir and let sit for a few minutes. Can add hard boiled eggs. My son's "favorite food group".

To poster #1: Arnie, it's recipes, not nutrition class. And these look great. The Peruvian I'm not too sure about - sweet potatoes in potato salad?
Mmm, mmm, spuds.
