I put a bit of plain potato salad on my spoon for every bite of gumbo. Temp and texture contrast is great. I gotta have rice in gumbo though.
this, except I like very little rice.

I do it when potato salad is available but I don't substitute the rice for it. I have it on the side. Get a spoon full of it and sort of dip in in the gumbo every once in a while.

One that was outstanding was gumbo'd eggs. I added a couple ladles of gumbo into my nonstick skillet until it started to boil. Then I added 2 eggs to poach in the gumbo. If you get the portions and timing right, the eggs are done (with runny yolk) right when the gumbo loses some liquid and gets to a gravy consistency. Serve over biscuits.
well goddamn that sounds fantastic

Great now I want gumbo. Where can I get it around downtown baton rouge today?

what type of potato salad are y'all generally doing for this? what is the base? surely not a mayo base, right?
I've always used a basic potato salad, same one I would use for any side dish. Potatoes(careful not to cream them, a little chunkiness helps), mayo, good bit of yellow mustard, eggs, & black pepper & salt. Someone mentioned they didn't like it because it made the gumbo cool down to quickly. I never use cold potato salad, fix it just before you are ready to eat & it will be warm/room temp.
Sweet potatoes are also a norm around where I grew up, not a big fan just because I'm not a big sweet potato fan but some people love it.

Today I don't know about but next week throughout Lent one of the churches elderly ladies have a long tradition of making gumbo to serve the masses down town. I think it is the Episcopal church on Florida.

I'm waiting for someone to put cream cheese, bacon and jalapenos in gumbo.

I like potato salad in gumbo, but I do not prefer it. It's a nice change of pace and I eat it like that about once a year, usually with my aunt's gumbo at the family Christmas party.

I love both. Rice or potato salad, pass the gumbo over here. But the sweet potato goes on the side. It goes great, but it stays on the side.

Tater salad gives your mouth so many flavors and textures that rice can't provide, you must ignore Counts no crunchy meme about it.
ETA the salad must be served hot not cold by any stretch of the imagination.

I have never substituted potato salad for rice, but I do enjoy a nice bowl on the side. On occasions, I have dipped a spoonful of potato salad in the gumbo and ate it that way.

Exactly.

The Store in NOLA CBD will serve gumbo with tater salad and it is excellent.

Love me some tater salad in gumbo. Well mustard based as I have never tried the mayo based.

I've poured gumbo over mashed potatoes, and that was good too. I was out of rice.

I do not eat rice at all in gumbo, if I have potato salad or baked sweet potato, I put that in the gumbo.....Definitely try the sweet potato

When I have a big pot of gumbo to get rid of, I also experiment with ways to creatively mix it with other things. One that was outstanding was gumbo'd eggs.

Holy frick

Crispy bacon on top sounds pretty good to me. A few roasted jalapenos might be an interesting sub for hot sauce or cayenne. No cream cheese, though.

I've put jalepenos in gumbo, with the trinity. I've even made a gumbo with habaneros. (Well, one.)

I too tried it for the fist time in my life a year back. I didn't want to like it but I did.
