Rice then gumbo on top. Scoop of potato salad in the bowl near the side. Scoop a little potato salad with every spoon.
Exactly how I eat it. I love cold potato salad with hot gumbo

I've put chicken n sausage gumbo on top of mashed potatoes (no rice). Close enough?
It was excellent.

I'm going to have to try this than.
The only problem though is I don't make it that often because my wife can't eat a good authentic gumbo. Her stomach is too sensitive. So I have to cook something different for her (she's disabled).
I do put hard boiled eggs in 1 kind of gumbo I make: "Leftover duck and hard boiled egg gumbo."

I put a peeled sweet potato in my gumbo now. Used to do potato salad until I discovered how much better the sweet potato was.

Potato salad and sweet potatoes go WITH gumbo, not IN gumbo.
Rice and gumbo in a bowl. Potato salad or sweet potato on a plate next to the bowl (also serves as a bone holder). Dip bites of the potatoes into the gumbo if needed.
There wasn't a gumbo my grandmother made that didn't have either potato salad, sweet potatoes, or both on the side.

As a side dish...yes. plopped into the bowl of gumbo so it dissolves...never.

I've also seen people put hard-boiled eggs in gumbo, and in the Opelousas area gumbo is served with a sweet potato.
I grew up in Opelousas and did not know this wasn't common practice until just a few years ago

From Nola area, have never known anyone who mixes them or had potato salad mixed into gumbo. Y'all have me curious now to try it...

Even my 5 yo daughter says she can't eat gumbo without potato salad in it.
Apparently it's pretty common

I was brought up doing that. Potato salad, baked sweet potato, a boiled egg, and rice are all acceptable items to place in your bowl of gumbo.

Let's face it. A good gumbo is good any way you serve it!
Now I'm hungry for gumbo and sweet potato and paotato salad.

Coonass in my camp enlightened me to the potater salad in gumbo trick. I'll take rice.
