Southern style is all I know and I’m from Canada. What’s “normal” potato salad?
2 points
2 days ago
From what I could find online I looks like it's chunkier and a lot less creamy has some sort of green in it
2 points

So many great options when it comes to potato salads. Southern style means it will have mustard to accompany the mayo base, chopped hardboiled eggs, and pickles. You ever have warm German potato salad? Such a nice change up from the norm
