About Potato Salad
Golden Corral Potato Salad costs from $2.99 as a To Go side and carries 520 calories. It sits on the cold salad bar rather than the hot line: diced potatoes in a creamy mustard dressing with celery and onion, held cold so the texture stays firm rather than mushy.
Deli style potato salad is a picnic staple, and it plays the same role on a buffet tray that coleslaw does, providing something cool and acidic against fried and smoked proteins. Take it with fried chicken for the classic combination. The recipe below dresses the potatoes while warm, which is the step most home versions skip.

- Swap half the mayo for sour cream for a tangier salad.
- Add dill and capers for a German leaning version.
