Amish Potato Salad
Serving Size: 4 people
DESCRIPTION
A rich and creamy, Amish potato salad, made with all wholesome plant-based ingredients. The dressing has a deep sweet and tangy flavor that sets it apart from the traditional potato salads. An awesome dish to meal prep in just less than 20 minutes.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 ½ cups Yukon gold potatoes cubed
- 1 cup red onion diced
- ½ cup scallion chopped
- ½ cup celery chopped
- ⅓ cup dill finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon oregano (dried or fresh) optional
- 1 tablespoon salt to add in boiling water
Dressing
- 1 cup vegan kewpie mayo
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
METHOD
- Cut potatoes into ½ inch cubes. In a large pot, submerge potatoes in salted boiling water and cover askew for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, check to see if potatoes are fork tender and ready to remove from heat. If ready, then drain and rinse potatoes under cold water and keep aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together all the dressing ingredients and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked potatoes, dressing, vegetables and herbs.
- Gently toss the salad together until everything is properly combined.
- Refrigerate potato salad till ready to serve. Season with fresh cracked pepper, celery seeds or paprika before serving.
NOTES
- Salt the water: Before boiling the potatoes, salt the water to properly season them.
- Drain well: Make sure you drain all of the excess water from the potatoes to prevent the salad from turning out mushy and watery.
- Cool potatoes: Cool the potatoes for 5-10 minutes prior to tossing them with dressing. A little warmth is okay, but dressing will stick better to cooled potatoes.
- Toss gently: Remember not to mash the potatoes while mixing them. It’s important to be gentle so they don’t squish!
- Save leftovers: Don’t forget to make extras for leftovers! A one or two day-old potato salad always tastes better than when it’s just combined.
