Notes Link to heading

If you ask a random housewife for advice on potato salad, you might get three strict rules: only potatoes and onion, nothing else; prepare the marinade by reducing broth; and, for heaven’s sake, never use any oil other than sunflower oil, even olive oil is already too strong. 😂

In Prekmurje, we do not pay too much attention to that.

This version contains plenty of pumpkin seed oil, which brings a deep, nutty flavor, and the dressing is simple, no broth, no cooking, no complications.

In the Prekmurje dialect, this dish is called Krumšova šalata s tikvinim oljon, meaning potato salad with pumpkin seed oil.

As a bonus, you can add beans, but in the classic krumšova šalata they are usually not included.
