what a great recipe…i lived in Tarpon & the food is fabulous……
Wooow wonderful recipe πππππ
Not dyslexic me reading βtampon stringsβπ
Please dont peele your cucumber people, its way better with skin on
Bravo Dimitra. Looks great but a little too runny if I were serving this. I grew up in Tarpon Springs and currently own a fine dining Taverna in Crystal River about 1.5 hrs north of TS. A little secret tip for those who may want to try my yiayia's recipe is to whisk olive oil and Greek dressing and not use mayo…and of course she added a little lemon, oregano and DILL to everything she made back in the day, Having potato salad is not something we as Greeks are/were used to eating – it's definitely a Tarpon Springs thing and they started this trend. but of course our customers expect us to have it also. We don't use Mayo π In all honesty I've never seen mayo used in our village in the Peloponnese or in yiayia's village in Samos. Great Video, Thanks much -Despina
Tarpon Springs is 1 town over from me. Food is SO GOOD! Thank you!
Yes!!! Thank you, with potato salad is the BEST way to enjoy a Greek Salad π₯! β€οΈ
This looks amazing
OMG! Tarpon springs is one of my favourite places! I love Mykonos – both the island in Greece and the restaurant in Tarpon Springs! Thank you!
Looks so delicious !! I wish I had that cooking device!!!
Looks amazing π€©
πππ half way in the video but I drool already !!
Thank you, Dimitra. How did u know? We drive down to The Tampa Bay Area every year and always spend at least one or two days in Tarpon Springs, visit the churches, St. Nicholas and Archangel Michael, go to all the souvenir shops, walk along the water, look at the boats and, of course, eat at one of all those fantastic Greek restaurants. We love that Greek salad with the potato salad in one dish. Thanks so much for the recipe!!!
Really like this potato salad. Because we are vegan. I will replace two of the ingredients. With something else. Always have liked Greek potato salad. Christina
I had this salad last summer at a couple restaurants when I visited Tarpon Springs. I have been craving it ever since. Your version looks really yummy.
Let me start by saying that you have a totally wrong idea about the major philosophy behind the Greek cuisine which translates to spreading wrong information about the Greek salad. When you say the more you put in there the better it gets its the worst lie of all, so please don't lie to your viewers. The philosophy of Greek cuisine is simple, not many ingredients but the best of each kind so you want to taste how good these ingredients are individually and you use good methods to combine them in flavour and texture matching. So yeah, you could just start by saying this is the salad that they do there, but not Greek.
Great recipe! We live near Tarpon Springs and always thought potatoes in a Greek salad were strange….but it actually tastes good. If you ever visit the area, the Cretan house would love to have you as a guest!
That doesn't look like the Tarpon variety. Too wet and sloppy.
Tarpon Springs~!!! When I was a boy I lived in Tarpon Springs. There was a girl in 6th grade and I was gonzo for her. Greek, lovely, her parents ran the largest insurance agency in town. She never noticed me.
A few restaurants, here in Tarpon Springs, also add a slice of pickled beet on top.
Omg I love Tarpon springs πππππ mamas and Hellas are our favorite my family lives in Glyfada just outside of Athens Tarpon springs feels just like being back in Greece
Is your restaurant in tarpon springs??
Anybody else read tampon strings at first? I am always in the look out to reduce my waste so I clicked on the video.
I was in Tarpon Springs yesterday and had a salad and potato salad. I love the potato salad but I must put more red and green peppers in it. It was delicious we went to Dimitris in Tarpon Springs. I had to get on here and tell you that I need to learn how to make that potato salad. Thank you for sharing your videos I am a better cook today because of you.
A day at the beach and finish it up at the Sponge Docks = Perfect Day. Love going to get dinner and dessert from Hellas and getting soap from Get-A-Guru Soap Shop.
My mom worked at Pappas restaurant in the 70s,, she was preparing the potato salad.. It's potatoes, green peppers, dill, parsley, onion, spring onions, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt
Yesssssβ€ i loveeee there all the food i have had there especially potatoe salad and lemony potatoes π₯
Tarpon Springs is a GREAT Quite location. You should go. My wife and I always eat at COSTAS on Athens St!
This brings back memories. I worked at Pappa's in Carrolwood, Tampa, for a bunch of years.
The white part of the scallion is the best! I hope you didn't throw them away..
