What kind of potato salid is this? and what all is in it?!


Question: when i was a kid my grandma used to make this potato salad that i've never seen anyone else make before. it had mayo and green olives but no onions and i'm sure there were some other things in it too but i was too young to remember. anyway i would like to make some for thanksgiving but i don't remember how to make it and i can't find anything like it on the internet. my father would be the only other person who knows how to make it but i do not speak with him anymore for personal reasons, so asking him is not an option for me. if anyone has ever heard of this kind of potato salad please let me know what kind it is and what all ingredients i am missing. thanks alot!

Sounds like a personal recipe. If you don't want to ask Dad, then experiment with it. Starting off with 3 ingredients is a good start. Once you taste it that way you may remember other ingredients. That's how I came up with my grandmothers stuffing recipe. I have it down to a tee!

Was it something like this warm potato salad with asparagus and poached egg?

Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
? onion, finely sliced
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
75ml/2?fl oz double cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp butter
150g/5?oz cooked new potatoes, sliced
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
3-4 asparagus spears, trimmed
1 free-range egg

Method
1. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and gently fry the onion until soft but not coloured.
2. Add the mustard and cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper and whisk in the butter.
3. Stir in the sliced potatoes and chives.
4. Drizzle the asparagus spears with the remaining olive oil and heat a griddle pan. Griddle the asparagus for 3-4 minutes, or until just tender and charred.
5. Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil and crack in the egg. Reduce to a simmer and poach the egg for four minutes. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
6. To serve, place the potato salad onto a plate and top with the asparagus and poached egg.

Did I miss something? If your recipe has NO ONIONS and and has OLIVES, why would someone give you a recipe with onions and without olives?
