Aussie Potato Salad: A Classic with a Bush Tucker Twist
Nothing beats a good potato salad at a barbecue. But this Native Aussie Potato Salad adds a true bush food twist. By using Dried Tasmanian Pepperberry (Tasmannia lanceolata), you’ll enjoy a uniquely rich, spicy flavour that sets this dish apart. The Pepperberry adds a gentle fruity warmth and depth, turning a classic salad into something authentically Australian.

Why is this Native Aussie Potato Salad Different?
This isn’t your average creamy potato salad. The secret is Tasmanian Pepperberry. Unlike ordinary black pepper, this native spice gives a slow-building, peppery heat with floral and fruity notes. It complements the creamy dressing perfectly and enhances the smoky flavour of crispy bacon. Fresh parsley and spring onion finish it off with a burst of freshness and colour.
If you’re searching for an easy, Australian-style potato salad with a unique native twist, this recipe is perfect for you.
