Hey Jim, Gerry from FL here. 12 years in FL and boy do I miss the NY Deli salads. Quickly to tell you what the best salad I've tasted here comes from WalMart. Can you believe that?? The main Supermarket, Publix has their own branded salads but they are Plain, Blah. I'm so hoping that these take my tastebuds back to the Deli's of NYC. What timing. Just in time for the 4th of July. Looks like I'm shopping and making these salads tomorrow. Thanks So Much. I really needed these. Gerry

This was interesting for me. Growing up in Guam and Hawaii (with Japanese mom) and only having been exposed to those types of Mac salad and potato salad, I now realize why people always wanted my recipes. I never knew any different.

It’s interesting how the potato salad is literally just potatoes. I live in the Midwest and the potato salad here is often made with egg, mustard, mayo, and celery.

Ha I am from NYC and for some reason, I do not remember it the way it is here! I always had either the mayo version or the mustard/mayo version, but both always had celery, eggs, pepper for sure. The macaroni salad sometimes had carrots in addition to peppers, celery. The potatoes that Jim did here remind me of the delicious "coins" that my mom would make and saute in a pan.

Potato Salad-potatoes, grated onion, Hellmans,hard boiled egg. Mac Salad- elbows, Hellmans, chopped green olives.

People seem to be missing the point a bit -- that you developed these recipes to taste like what you'd find at a NY (probably specifically Long Island) Deli. Its a regional, and for some of us, a very nostalgic thing. I've been out of NY for a while and boy do I miss good deli food (of all kinds). This brings back memories of family gatherings/events with the two giant 6-foot heros (one "american" and one "italian" ) and several trays of deli salads.

I left Long Island almost 10 years ago. I made this macaroni salad, and it blew my mind! The sugar, the vinegar, the grated onion... I'll never make it any other way now! Thank you!!

Born and raised on the South Shore of Long Island. I have been living in Miami way too long. This is the potato salad I remember and loved. It just doesn't exist here. Thank you.

My dad had two delis. One in Bayridge and the other in park slope. My grandmother, mother and I did all the cooking. We boiled the brim until the sugar and salt melted. My grandmother called it "yagosh"! Which means mixture. We Let it cool while we made everything else. We do everything you did except we put celery in the potato salad and some shaded carrots in the macaroni salad. God, how I miss growing up in the deli and the city. 😊❤

I love how you were munching on the potato pieces while working the mandolin. I had many children and home cooked everything, but by the time dinner came, I wasn't hungry because I had "tried" every thing while making it.

Can't wait to try this! Brine? Who knew? We moved from LI (East Setauket) in January 2000 to SC. Love it here but boy oh boy do we miss the food!! Delis, the diners pizza/bagels, the grocery stores, Italian food, ethnic food, the list goes on and on. Nobody (in the US) knows food like NY/LI!!!

Man O Man thanks sooooooooooo much! Keep your LI NY channel alive pls for us that left the area.

In Germany we would put boiled eggs and finely chopped pickled Cornichons and use the pickling juice with the mayo with the potatoes that have not fully cooled so that it absorbs all the liquid ❤ I have never tried it your way but will do at the weekend 👍

Man this makes me so nostalgic for the work weeks and months I was lucky enough to be assigned to Long Island... and the city. And eating there. New York is such a mega-presence in the American imagination that the simple superiority on offer - everywhere - every day, on every block, gets lost in the hoopla. All the TV shows and media noise is about the big restaurants downtown... but just in Roslyn from Chicken Kabob to Bryant & Cooper you can eat the best food on earth, from every corner of the earth. The simplest bodega will have killer pizza or tacos... The rest of the country hasn't a clue. From the Athens of America I salute you - Rome!

I was a poor Irish kid from Da Bronx 😂 You macaroni and potato salad is Top Shelf! It brings me back to my childhood. I’ve made these several times and my family loves it👍 Thanks

I never in my life thought about how similar macaroni salad and potato salad are. This video made me happy.

I worked in a Long Island deli as a teenager. This potato salad recipe is incredible and brought back memories of that delicious food. The flavor is amazing!

A mandolin glove is on my list of things to order before next summer. I'm a Long Islander and former deli cook & these recipes are exactly what I'm used to. For those of us that know what these salads cost at a deli these days, they are definitely worth trying at home :)

Beautiful thank you! Living abroad I miss many NY specialties and these are two of them. Rockland and Westchester make it the same way I'm sure. From one Noo Yawker to another GRAZIE MILLE!

I Loved Your Brine. I Used It In My German Potato Salad Recipe With 2 1/2lbs Of Regular Sized Red Potatoes. I Drained The Excess Brine And Added Fried Bacon. Awesome Good 😎

AWESOME! Please do your NYC coleslaw if you can.

In the late 70's there was a german deli on sunrise highway in Patchogue that made an absolutely addictive potato salad. People would be lined up outside whatever the weather to purchase it. I've always tried to duplicate the recipe but couldnt. They didn't use a lot of mayo, but your recipe seems like a pretty good match! Can't wait to try it.

Something you may want to try is use the juice from a jar of Bics sweet bread and butter pickles that have mustard seed and celery seed and use that in your mayonnaise or in your brining method for potato salad instead of vinegar. Add fresh dill and of course add some extra sugar and dry mustard to taste and salt and pepper to taste. No oil in mine.....no egg....and no onion...the fresh dill really makes it look pretty ...... I use red potatoes. Trust me. Quick Tip......If your potato salad gets watery or you accidentally made it too soupy add a tablespoon of instant mashed potato flakes. 😉

Thanks!! Love these true deli recipes.

My grandmother (born in 1910) ran a café in Biloxi, Mississippi, during the 1950's through 1970's, and her potato salad was made with: large chunks of boiled, peeled, and cut Russet potatoes, minced white onion, minced celery, Hellman's or Best Foods mayo, a healthy dollop of yellow mustard, diced dill pickles plus a splash of the pickle juice (not too much!), and a good-sized portion of chopped boiled eggs (six to eight for a normal-sized home salad bowl of potato salad.) The mayo, diced pickles, mustard, and splash of pickle juice all added salt. We always added salt to the water in which the potatoes were boiled, which also contributed a bit of salt to the final dish. Carefully tasting and adding salt at the end (not too much!) finished the preparation. While many Southern ladies added sugar, sweet pickle relish, and/or the cloyingly sweet Miracle Whip to their potato salad, we kept our potato salad savory, never sweet. Given the potato salad I was used to, I never understood the appeal of the very plain, all-white, "deli-style" salads. They just seemed "cheap" to me. I had no idea of the ingredients, effort, and time that was being put in during the brining stage. Very interesting!
