Potato Salad Legislation or Potato Salad Politics is a term used in Ceticilian politics to refer to policies of little use or relevance. The term was popularized after Álvaro Barredo discovered a 2016 proposal by Jørgen Natt proposing a ban on potato salad in the Ceticilian Parliament's cafeteria as a joke. Such cafeteria, however, does not exist, nor has potato salad ever been recorded to be served in Ceticilian facilities. In August 2017, as a reaction to constant accusations of potato salad legislation, Mia Torres wrote a new proposal to ban potato salad from the non-existent cafeteria ("Potato Salad Act"). Torres' proposal has often been incorrectly attributed to as the source of the popularization of the phrase "Potato Salad Politics."
