100 Year Old Potato Salad Recipe - Authentic Brooklyn NY Deli Potato Salad

This is a 100 year old potato salad recipe from my aunt. She owned several delis in Brooklyn, NY many years ago and used to make most of the food that was sold herself. When she bought one of the delis, the previous owner passed on all of the recipes to her. My family has been making this potato salad ever since. The original recipe called for Wesson Oil but you can use any vegetable oil that you like. My aunt always used red potatoes so I still make it with red potatoes. My aunt also used to garnish it with fresh parsley and some carrot curls. I didn't have any on hand when I filmed the video but it makes for a nice presentation.

This is a recipe for an Authentic New York Deli Potato salad. This is how the potato salad was made over 100 years ago and how it is still made today in many New York and Long Island delicatessens. The secret to its wide appeal is in its simplicity.

[@marymarysmarket3508]

Very interesting recipe. TFS.

[@faeryglamer]

Grandma, fifty thousand views for a potato salad recipe. That's amazing! I have a recipe, but kept watching because my dad's family came from long Island. In your voice I heard all of them, and had them near again. Thank you.

[@TheLissabee]

What kind of mayo do you use please? I like Hellmans.

[@thomashernandez8700]

No paprika or pepper?

[@reemclaughlin4260]

If I don’t use Hellman’s my family gives me the hairy eyeball……

I used to be a Fuller Brush sales lady, about 35 years ago. That veggie brush was a free gift to anyone who would listen to my sales pitch! I still have about 5 of them around my house😄

[@Piratesaregay12322]

My grandmother passed away a while ago and you and her share an accent. Listening to you talk is like going back in time and listening to my own grandmother talk to me and teach me how to cook as a child. I have so many amazing memories waking up to the smell of amazing food in the mornings, I would stand in the kitchen and she would just turn around, smile and ask me if I wanted to learn to make it myself. I always said yes. I would wake up at 4am to help on thanksgiving and she would always brag to her friends how I was the only other person in our family who was allowed to touch the turkey and the gravy because no one else made it as good as I did. She left behind all of her handwritten recipes to me on her passing. We shared a deep bond when it came to food and hospitality. I miss her every day. Her potato salad is basically the same with some other additions. I'm going to go out and buy the ingredients and make for dinner tonight.

[@GrandmaFeral]

Hi thank you for sharing your amazing memories of your Grandmother. If listening to me is like going back in time and listening to your Grandmother I feel flattered. How wonderful that she left you all of her handwritten recipes. They are a treasured keepsake. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻

Thanks for this! If you have anymore Brooklyn deli recipes to share, I'm sure I'm not the only one that's interested. I've been in NYC a million times and everytime I go I stuff myself with deli food. Who needs high end restaurants? I will always miss Carnegie Deli. This is great! Move over Grandpa, I'm coming with my spoon!😀

[@GrandmaFeral]

Thank you for watching. My Aunt and Uncle mainly sold sandwiches and of course the homemade potato salad. We remember the Carnegie Deli and many other places with great food that are no longer in business👩.

[@martyrose]

@@GrandmaFeralThanks Grandma Feral. I enjoy watching you. Yes. New York probably has the best food in the world! Most kids were sent to camp in the summer but I was sent to my aunt in New Jersey. Great education.

My pop on my father's side would always make potato salad and add dill seasoning to it, I loved the way it tasted with the homemade Kielbasa. Yummy

[@robynperdieu3434]

A memory of a deli my Mom frequented, Grusenmyers, popped in my head. You knew your meat was local and grass fed And all the delicious food like this potato dalad.

[@pamelag7553]

My parents had Fuller brushes, I still have a few! People may not believe that your brush is 50 years old but I can attest to that. My parents brushes look just as good now as they did when I was a kid. Of course I haven't used them very much in recent decades. I keep them for nostalgia. Things were made to last a long time in those days. And companies put their reputation behind their product. Most of that has disappeared these days, sad to say.

[@GrandmaFeral]

Hi Pamela Fuller brush is an excellent product. I think you are still able to purchase some of the products either online or in a catalogue. Everything they made years ago last forever. I am still using many items i received at my bridle shower. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻

[@lisaspikes4291]

After my grandfather retired, he started selling Fuller Brush products for awhile. I have that vegetable scrubber! But mine isn’t as old as yours! My mom still has the carpet sweeper.

[@trishr.3986]

I have a Fuller broom and it hardly shows wear. I use it for sweeping and scrubbing.

[@sookie4195]

Items are made to wear out. Now a days they want us to buy again and again.

[@tammyfritschie1697]

My mom had a Fullerbrush vegetable brush like yours except it had a brown handle. She also had a FullerBrush hair brush that she bought when I was about 4 or 5 years old. Fast forward 55 years. When she passed away, she still had the hairbrush and she had used it faithfully every day of all those years. They were built to last.

[@RockyMountainPosse]

After my grandparents immigrated from Europe they opened a butcher shop/deli in Harlem NY. This is pretty much the same recipe except on occasion we would add celery seed. Thank you for sharing this. I will make it soon, for sure!

[@GrandmaFeral]

You are so welcome!❤️Grandma👩🏻

[@LGAussie]

So, basically u boil red potatoes for 25 min. let them cool, peel the skin, slice them in a pan. Grate onion over the top. Boil 2 c. cold water with 2 T. white vinegar till first boil only. Let cool. Mix some with mayonnaise to make creamy, then pour over potatoes. Super easy ! Can’t wait to try it! Thanks! 👍🌝

[@GrandmaFeral]

Yes, correct but you use as much onion as you like. When the water and white vinegar cools use a little at a time. You probably will not use it all. Enjoy❤️Grandma👩🏻

[@laurenleisure]

You forgot the oil and sugar.

[@SamtheMan0508]

My parents were born in Brooklyn but moved to Florida in 1950. My favorite part of going back to visit was going to the Italian deli's and bakeries. I was a connoisseur of good food even as a child.😊

[@GrandmaFeral]

Thanks for sharing!! ❤️Grandma👩🏻

[@heatherstephanie]

Thank you! The Long Island deli potato salad recipe I had called for the potatoes to soak overnight in the vinegar brine. Your recipe is much easier and tastes just as good. Garnish with shredded carrot, parsley and paprika. So yummy! Just like Long Island delis from my childhood. ❤

[@GrandmaFeral]

Sounds great! Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻

[@jend2862]

I made this yesterday, but since I was making just for myself, I only made a 1/4 batch. It's so good and is now my favorite potato salad recipe (wish I had only cut in half).

[@GrandmaFeral]

I made the potato salad for Grandpa and I the other day. I only had two Idaho potatoes but it made enough to have with our dinner. Glad to hear it is now your favorite potato salad. It is so good and has so few ingredients. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻

[@ritaturner9906]

Did you taste any vinegar?

[@francescampbell4731]

Your Aunt's recipe is quite different from my Grandmother's recipe. She passed away in 1972 but luckily she gave me a few of her recipes. Her's is 5 lbs of potatoes, cooked similar to what you showed, basically her recipe is the same as yours until you start adding the extra ingredients. Her's consists of potatoes (she favored red for this too), Hellman's mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, dried or fresh parsley, six hard boiled eggs, chop four and slice two for the top as decoration. It's a recipe that is requested on a regular basis. My Aunt Rita made her potato salad the same except she added 50/50 mayonnaise and sour cream.

[@GrandmaFeral]

My Aunt made a more plain Potato Salad to sell at the deli. She did not want to add eggs or other ingredients that customers may not like or have an allergy to. Thank you for sharing how your Grandmother made hers and thank you for watching👩🏻

[@NYdr]

NYC potato salad was strictly brining ingredients and Hellmans. No veg😊

[@JustMe-uu3bh]

I do the 1/2 sour cream too instead of only mayo. and I add DILL WEED! (never pickles!). but whatever floats your boat! thank you!

Thank you for the recipe and nostalgic info. When I was a kid we didn't have the internet- and wouldn't miss it back then- but we had so many other things. Like Grandma said, the Fuller Brush man, the Helms Bakery truck that would come down your street, tooting it's funny horn every morning selling wonderful bakery items. The Good Humour man selling ice cream was a treat that kids looked forward to during the summer months especially. We loved the music from the truck telling us that ice cream was on it's way. Times were good and not to be forgotten.

[@GrandmaFeral]

Hi I know we did not have the internet or a cell phone. We would have to look for a phone booth to call home. When we watched TV we would have to get up and change the channel. We had plenty of exercise without going to a gym. It was such a different time and it should not be forgotten. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻

He likes to eat some warm. I made it for an elderly lady down the street and she called requesting my recipe stating it was the best potato salad she had ever tasted.

Hi it seems if you are from the south you use eggs in your potato salad. If you are a New Yorker we use eggs to make egg salad.

Those delis were glorious and I saw Hydrox's name on the one. Sealtest made the best ice cream. I do miss the old delis and their charm. Great story about the Fuller Brush man and your old brush. It was built to last. My mom had one and I assumed it was for cleaning the dishes. Learned something new. Thank you. It looked good.

[@GrandmaFeral]

I remember as a young child going to my Aunt & Uncles Delis. They also lived in an apartment in Brooklyn that had railroad rooms three flights up. When I would have a spring break from school my Aunt would take my cousin and I to Radio City Music Hall to see a movie and a show on stage. These are memories I will never forget. Thank you for watching👩🏻

@@GrandmaFeral Oh, that is wonderful. I have never heard of railroad rooms before and researched it. Interesting.

I’m totally making this but using vegan Mayo! Thank you for sharing her recipe! Will you be sharing more of her deli recipes? I bet she had a ton of good ones! 😃

[@GrandmaFeral]

When they had the deli they only made a few salads and sold a lot of sandwiches. They made more of their money on lunches. Back when they had the Deli there was no fast food restaurants.👩🏻

I'm 95. I can imagine how good this potato salad tastes. I remember, well, delicatessen flavors. I think women have abandoned the art of cooking. Oh well, at least I know how good it used to be.

You are right! ❤️Grandma👩🏻

I grew up on eastern Long Island, in rural potato country. We didn't grow potatoes, but we always had a 50 lb bag of them (eastern all-purpose white variety) in the basement, that Dad had traded a bushel or two of tomatoes (or peppers, eggplant, zucchini, etc.) for. I ate a LOT of potatoes --- and potato salad --- growing up!🥔🍅 Our typical recipe variant: chopped celery and onions, dressing of mayo, white vinegar, S&P, celery seed. To this I sometimes now add a good squeeze of sriracha.🌶️ Late in life, Dad came up with a new and very unexpected variant: he substituted fresh lime juice for the vinegar---sounds like a weird pairing, but it works! My uncle, who loved visiting New Orleans, made a southern potato salad version with a mayo/yellow mustard base, and I think onions (scallions?) and celery. Might have had relish in it, I don't remember any more, but it was good, too. Ooh, a Grandpa Feral visual perspective on the taste test! Neat touch!

[@GrandmaFeral]

Thanks for sharing. I will try the fresh lime juice and other ingredients as we like potato salad especially in the summer👩

[@chezmoi42]

​@@GrandmaFeral My gran always used apple cider vinegar in her potato salad and coleslaw/waldorf salad recipes. Of course, we lived in WA, which is a big apple region.

[@patriciamorgan6545]

@@GrandmaFeral The lime juice was a real secret ingredient-- gives the potato salad a little extra freshness you don't expect, and makes you wonder, 'Oh! What IS that? I can't tell, and I don't care. Yum!'😋

[@patriciamorgan6545]

I use cider vinegar in my cucumber salad and in beet salad pretty much exclusively. Dad stuck to his white vinegar for his cukes, but it was too medicinal for Mom and I, as he used too much. We thought he might be doing that deliberately to keep the salad for himself!😉 (I like a lot of vinegar, too, but mine is more in balance with the other ingredients, and the cider vinegar gives it more complexity.) Mom loved making Waldorf salad, too, but I don't recall the dressing, other than it was very simple, probably little more than mayo. Maybe some lemon to prevent oxidation of the apples, a little S&P. I'll have to try that again come fall, see if I can work out her recipe from memory. Do you toast your walnuts? I don't remember us bothering.

[@patriciamorgan6545]

@@chezmoi42 oops, chez, that last comment about cider vinegar was meant for you. Also, do you toast your walnuts for the Waldorf salad?

[@earthtears4850]

These recipes are not to be altered. The point is, times were hard for a lot folks, so 'adding' meant money. Green beans & bread/butter make this a cheap nutritious meal. 👵

My grandma had a luncheonette years ago. I remember mixing the potato salad and macaroni salad by hand in a plastic dishpan as a youngster. These salads were so delicious!!! I gain a few pounds just remembering. Thank you!!

[@GrandmaFeral]

[@Vilexxica]

This sounds so good, but I can't eat onions or garlic. Do you have any other spice or vegetable recommendations to get a similar flavor?

[@GrandmaFeral]

Thank you for watching. You can use the herb chives in place of the onion👩

[@chezmoi42]

I do have a suggestion for you! If you live anywhere the 'noxious invasive weed' garlic mustard* grows, you can pick the young leaves or flowers and chop them up for a seasoning, or add to sour cream or cream cheese for a spread, sauce, or dip. Like mustard, it is a member of the cabbage family, so it will not cause the same problems you have with the onion family. The flavor truly is a wonderful mix of mustard and garlic. It does not withstand long cooking, as the flavors are volatile, so cook it quickly or use it as a last-minute garnish when serving it in hot dishes like soups or omelets. There are a lot of recipes for it. It is a native plant in Europe, and we prize it highly. I'm a forager, so for me the best way to get revenge on a 'weed' is to eat it if you can. 💚 *Latin name: Alliaria petiolata www.ediblewildfood.com/garlic-mustard.aspx

I love seeing different recipes for potato salad, which is a dish I adore. I remember trying my Aunt Carol's salad when I was 15 and crying, "Aunt Carol! This is so good! What is your *recipe?* " Let the potatoes cool with a little vinaigrette in the fridge, *then* add the creamy dressing. I've riffed on that for years!

The story of the Fuller brush man, brought back memories. I’m 73 and remember him coming to the house. That was a time when they made things to last. I hope we have better made things. Not just gadgets, but refrigerators, stoves, washers and dryers., nothing last today. My mothers refrigerator lasted 30 years. Best wishes ♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hi I enjoyed reading your comment and I agree with everything you said. It is so true today nothing is made to last and everything is not inspected like years ago. When you purchased clothes years ago it was sewn perfect. You would never find an imperfection. Glad you also remember the Fuller brush man.

@@GrandmaFeral so nice reading your comment. My Mother Stitched clothing, in Boston, Massachusetts. It was mens uniforms. If I remember correctly Police and Firefighters. When we would go shopping down town Boston, she would show me what to look for in the clothing. The fabric, how the pattern was matched in the fabric. , how the seams were finished, the zippers stitched. Button holes and buttons secured. To this day I always look at the fabric, if it’s matched, sown well. Nothing like it use to be. I hope we get back to better quality clothes, shoes etc. Best wishes ♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@GrandmaFeral sorry I wanted to thank you for your video, and potato salad recipe. We had a great Jewish deli, in Chelsea, Massachusetts. My Dad would surprise us at midnight with corned beef sandwiches. He could only afford two, on his way home from work. Him and my Mom would share one, and three of us kids would share the other. They were piles high with beautiful corned beef, on a giant bulkie roll. What a treat. Wasn’t often, but loved when he did it. That Deli was there and I took my kids there over the years, until it closed. We so need these Mom and Pop, Deli’s. They were the best. I moved away from the area, was a small Deli here, but they too have closed. Best wishes ♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
