I'm late to the party, but I almost won't eat gumbo without potato salad.

Did that as a kid and my Dad got pissed. He said that would ruin gumbo. I thought the cold/hot sensation and the taste combo was awesome. I do it now too.

Something i like just as much as a potato salad served with chicken/sausage gumbo are fresh baked whole yams.

I like to put a yam in my gumbo with or without the rice. I do the same with potato salad.

I'm from Moreauville, LA and we always had sweet potato with gumbo. When I moved to Lafayette I noticed everyone had potato salad with gumbo. Either way i like it.

I can't really remember the first time I had gumbo and potato salad together, but it was after reading about people from around LA on this site having it.

Hot gumbo and cold potato salad is awesome.

Always potato salad with gumbo. Depending on my mood, I either put a scoop in the gumbo bowl or put a scoop in a separate bowl and spoon gumbo juice over it.

Scoop of potato salad on top of gumbo and rice. Get it all on a cracker.

Boiled eggs go in stews.
