Canadian Potato Salad

Its Superbowl Sunday so we're having an easy dinner of fried chicken and potato salad before we settle down for the game

This Potato Salad from the Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, August 1942,was lovely, though Im not sure why its a Canadian one. Creamy potatoes, with simple crunchy vegetables and seasoned with a little pepper (not in the recipe) makes for a side dish which the family enjoyed. One little amendment to the original recipe though. I only used 1/2 a cup of mayo. For us, 1 cup was far too much.


2½ cups diced, cooked potatoes
½ to 1 teaspoon salt
1 cup diced celery
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 cup chopped spinach
½ cup mayonnaise


  • Season potatoes with salt. 
  • Add onion, celery, and spinach. 
  • Add mayonnaise and toss lightly until mayonnaise coats all vegetables. 
  • Serve on spinach. 
  • Garnish with crisp carrot and turnip sticks. 
  • Serves 6.
