I think the redskin potato is "western" influenced too. It's definitely not
from eastern or southern Virginia. I've noticed that once I've gotten west
of Pittsylvania, Bedford, Amherst Counties that the redskin potato starts to
creep into the potato salad.

I agree with Nancy that sour cream must have been a German influence. I
don't have any recollection of sour cream being used in eastern or southern
Virginia potato salad.

Some folks don't care for it, but I like a sprinkle or two of paprika on top
of my potato salad and deviled eggs. Not mixed in, not too much, and just on
the top. Maybe it's a color thing for me.
