I was quite impressed with Raffi Cohen's/Tzabar "Grilled Eggplant and Techina Salad" that I recently tasted. It was much better than Achlah's Grilled Eggplant and Techina Salad, so I had high hopes for this new Raffi Cohen "Home-Style Potato Salad".
My first disappointment came when I realized they added hard-boiled eggs to the potato salad. I know there are many people who enjoy hard-boiled eggs in their potato salad but I'm not one of them.
Aside from the welcomed pickles, the strongest flavor I tasted was pepper. I thought it was just way too much black pepper. For me, the pepper totally overpowered any other taste in this salad.
As with many potato salads there was a lot of mayonnaise, in my opinion, too much mayonnaise, it made the salad a bit too sweet. Or maybe it was the sugar that made it too sweet. If they really wanted a "home-style" salad I think they should have left out the extra sugar and skipped the added flavor enhancers.
Bottom Line: It's not the worst commercial potato salad I have tasted but I'm disappointed with it. I expected more from Chef Raffi Cohen. I'm sure he would not serve anything like this Home-Style Potato Salad in his restaurant. He surely would not serve this "Home-Style" potato salad in his home.

In general, I don't like pre-made salads especially potato. You just proved why. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Sweet and Savory, I totally understand you :)
ReplyDeleteIn my home, eggs were always added. But none of that colored stuff (veg)
