Potato Salad
There are many varieties of potato salad. I grew up eating what I understand to be a fairly standard version made with lots of cooked Idaho Russet potatoes and sliced boiled eggs combined with fairly small amounts of chopped dill pickles, mustard and mayo to taste.
This article on potato salad looks solid and includes a recipe. If you remove the onion, celery, garlic salt and celery salt, it's probably pretty close to what I grew up eating.
If you are the kind of vegetarian who eats eggs and dairy, this counts as a vegetarian dish and stands well on its own as a meal in its own right. It also is frequently served as a side dish for people with more meat-and-potatoes diets.
Potato salad gets served both hot and cold. When I was growing up, we would make a LOT at one time and serve it hot the day we made it, then put a large bowl of it in the fridge and we would typically consume subsequent servings cold.
This allows you to have a cold lunch over the next two or three days if you so desire. Since this is a dish that tastes great cold, it's a dish that works well to fill lunch boxes for school or work, take to a picnic or potluck or stick in a cooler for a day trip.
