Our best potato salad recipes

When it comes to a braai side, potato salad is a non-negotiable. But like every good nostalgic recipe, there’s more than one way to make a mean potato salad. We’ve rounded up our favourite classic, and not-so-classic, potato salad recipes.

Condensed-milk potato salad

Afrikaans people will know that condensed milk in potato salad adds a delicate sweetness and balance to an overall tangy dish. Don’t knock it till you try it!

Potato salad with herbed chilli dressing

Potato salad without mayo? Shocking, we know, but hear us out. A mix of potatoes plus a herby dressing turns what is normally a heavy side into something refreshing. One bonus is that the longer this sits, the better the flavour is.

Coconut-and-coriander three-potato salad

Another mayo-free option, this dressing is punchy and creamy but won’t leave you feeling stuffed. It also makes for a great sauce for grilled chicken, meaning you won’t have to double up on a marinade.

Sweet-potato salad with braaied garlic and salsa verde

The salsa verde is the real drawcard here, so make double of it to pour it over everything from grilled meat and fish, to soups and avo toast.
