I don't use anything as a modifier unless referring to sweet potatoes or a
specific type of spud - like Yukon Gold or purple potatoes. Mostly, around
here, people refer to white taters - if they refer to them as more than just
potatoes as Idaho potatoes. Unless talking about red potatoes or "new"
otatoes.

Potatoes tend to be the starch of choice for most northern European cultures.

I was going to fire off a(n) S-A question about "what of Chinese or Japanese or
India potato salads?" Then this little voice in the back of my mind said --
"better look first".

      Title: Chinese Potato Salad
 Categories: Salads, Potatoes, Pork, Sauces
      Yield: 8 servings

  potato salad-sized chunks. Mix the ingredients for the sauce
  together, using more or less sesame oil and hot mustard
