I don’t think that I’ve ever had a barbecue where I didn’t serve potato salad, it makes the perfect side dish for anything that comes off the grill. There are some precautions that you need to take though when you serve it on a hot day. Mainly, the salad needs to be kept cold, bacteria loves mayonnaise when it’s mixed with potatoes. It has something to do with the raw eggs and acid used to make the mayonnaise. The potatoes break down that acid, which creates the perfect environment for bacteria, which can then lead to food poisoning.

With German potato salads there’s a lot less worry about the temperature since it doesn’t contain mayonnaise. It uses a tangy vinaigrette for the dressing, which doesn’t need refrigeration. Seeing that German potato salad can also be served hot, it makes sense that it’s a lot safer on a hot day then mayonnaise based potato salads, try serving those hot!
