Potato Salad (Kartoflusalat in Iceland)
"This is my final recipe entry from *Cool Cuisine* (Traditional Icelandic Cuisine) by Nanna Rognvaldardottir & I suppose it's only fitting it should feature the much-revered potato. Per the intro: "Potato salad is served w/many meat dishes, esp steaks, grilled meat & sausages. There is a wide variety of recipes, but this 1 is the most popular." (This recipe begins w/the eggs & potatoes already cooked, so that time is not reflected) *Enjoy* !"

Great potato salad. I've never had a potato salad with apples, sour cream, or curry before. It was a nice change of pace and my grandson loved it. Thanks twissis for sharing. Made for ZWT9. -
WOW! This potato salad is very, very yummy! The apple, curry, eggs, gherkins and potatoes go so well together and the salad tastes fresh with an exotic touch. I subbed yoghurt for the mayonnaise and left out the lemon juice due to the yoghurt being quite sour already. Your directions were easy to follow and overall the recipe quick to make. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this scrumptious recipe with us, twissis! Ill definitely make it again! Made and reviewed for An Apple A Day Tag Game Octobre 09.

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
