It’s rare that a minor detail in a long-running series will take on a strange, unintended new life as a meme. Jean-Luc Picard face-palming in Star Trek TNG: Deja Q. Some kid eating tide pods. Oliver Platt’s occasional role on The West Wing. Or, in the case of Spongebob Squarepants, a moment from like every other episode. Follow along this week as we recreate a potato salad recipe courtesy of “Tom”, an ancillary character famous for screaming.

  1. We got this joke here in germany: "Salad tastes best if replaced by a Schnitzel 2 minutes before serving." This episode kinda reminded me of that.. "Potato Salad is best when replaced with fries before serving"

  2. Mr. Babish I would really appreciate if you decided to do an episode of Binging With Babish on an iconic food item from Spongebob Squarepants: The Nasty Patty

  3. My dad makes a grilled potato salad, slices and smokes/grills the potatoes, mix with mustard mayo, seasonings, add bacon and bleu cheese, delicious

  4. 0:10 Number 15: 3 day old foot salad

    “The last thing you’d want in your 3 day old potato salad is someone’s food fungus, but apparently, that might be just what you get.”

  5. In my country, we make the same salad as the 2nd one, but we don’t use sour cream or mayo, we just use fresh olive oil. IMO it’s much tastier and tastes fresh and luxurious.

  6. My old boss always let his potato salad set for a day before he severed it and it did make a difference. Best potato salad ive ever had

  7. Suggestion for Babish: The disney show Amphibia recently had a supplemental book released with a recipe for one of the main characters' family dishes, try that?

    For Alvin: The lunches from Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Movie: Rebellion

  8. Way to go Nickelodeon. It took Babish three days to make these potato salads!

  9. I always thought they let the potato salad rest for 3 days. As in they fully made it with everything, then let it sit for 3 days before they ate it.
    Which is sort of true. I always think 'old' potato salad tastes better than fresh ones.
