Classic Potato Salad

This classic potato salad recipe is easy to make for all of your cookouts and potlucks. It’s a summer essential!

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs baby yellow potatoes or potatoes of choice
• 1 cup plant-based mayo
• 2 tbsp white vinegar
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 3/4 cup celery, chopped
• 2-3 green onions, chopped
• 1 kosher dill pickle, chopped
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Place pot on the stove over high heat and cover. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are slightly fork tender* and drain. Leave potatoes in the colander and cover with a clean kitchen towel to steam for 15 minutes. Uncover and allow to cool for an additional 15 minutes.
2. While potatoes are cooking, make the dressing. Add mayo, vinegar, mustard, celery, green onions, dill pickle and pepper to a large bowl. Stir to combine, cover and place in the fridge until ready to use.
3. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut into quarters**. Add potatoes to the dressing and fold them in. Taste and add salt to taste and adjust any seasonings as needed.
4. Place in the fridge until completely cool – at least 1 hour.
5. Serve and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

*Since the potatoes are going to steam, you don’t want them to be completely soft. You will need to boil them for 10-15 minutes to achieve this. 
**At this point you can decide whether you want to peel your potatoes or not. Once you cut them in quarters, the skins should easily peel off. Feel free to leave the skins on if you want to skip this step.
