Jüri Pootsmann Reveals His Potato Salad Secret

Singer Jüri Pootsmann shares his recipe for preparing the beloved Estonian potato salad. The 31-year-old artist's version includes potatoes, cheap sausage, sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard and pickled cucumber brine.

Singer Jüri Pootsmann has revealed which ingredients must go into his potato salad — and which must not. The 31-year-old artist is convinced that classic Estonian potato salad needs no exotic additions.

According to Pootsmann, the basic ingredients of his potato salad are simple and affordable: potatoes, preferably cheap sausage, sour cream and mayonnaise. He also adds mustard and pickled cucumber brine, which give the salad its special flavour.

Apples and peas are, however, strictly excluded from Pootsmann's potato salad — the singer believes they do not belong in the classic recipe. Simple as it is, it is for him the perfect version of Estonia's national dish.
