Hot potato salad is a traditional dish with its roots in German and Central European cuisine, where warm potato salads were common as side dishes on family tables. In Latin America, this dish remains popular, especially in countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina, although with variations in ingredients and preparation methods. In some countries in the region, it may simply be known as "warm potato salad" or "homestyle potato salad." This dish combines the simplicity of potatoes with intense flavors and crunchy textures, making it a comforting and versatile option for any occasion.
Its particularity of being served hot sets it apart from common salads and allows it to stand out for its unique flavor thanks to the use of bacon and a warm vinaigrette with spices.
