This Simple Potato Salad recipe is a blend of a classic potato salad and German potato salad. This is sweet, yet tangy. There is so much flavor in this recipe. Relish or chopped pickles would also be a great addition for this recipe. I started out making this recipe as a traditional German Potato Salad, but I just love the taste of mayo (especially Vegenaise!). You can also add celery or red onions to this potato salad recipe. I have made variations of this recipe over the years. However, I decided to post this specific recipe because of its simplicity. No eggs (obviously…vegan), no onions, celery, relish, or pickles. I hope you try this recipe with or without the add-ins. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

3lbs of Mini Yellow or Gold Potatoes (larger pieces halved or quartered)

1 Tbsp Course Kosher Salt

1 Cup of Vegan Mayo (used here-Follow Your Heart brand-Vegenaise)

3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/3 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar

1 Tbsp Raw Cane Sugar

1 Tsp Salt

2 Tbsp Yellow Mustard

1 Tsp Lemon Pepper seasoning (such as Lawry’s brand)

1 Handful/Bunch of Fresh Parsley, chopped

Directions:

-Rinse and/or scrub the potatoes. Halve or quarter the larger pieces, I typically will leave the smaller potatoes whole. See pictures.

-Place potatoes in a large pot. Fill the pot with cold water about an inch above the potatoes. Add the tablespoon of Kosher Salt. Bring to a boil. Once the boiling set the timer for 15 minutes.

-Boil the potatoes for about 15 minutes, be sure to check by piercing with a fork.

-Drain potatoes and set aside. Allow the potatoes to cool for about 10 minutes.

-In a small bowl, add the remaining ingredients: Vegan Mayo, Vinegar, Sugar, Salt, Mustard, and Lemon Pepper. *Reserve a couple tablespoons of Parsley to top/garnish. Whisk ingredients together to combine. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes as the potatoes cool.

-Toss the potatoes with the mayo mixture. Top with additional parsley to garnish.

-Enjoy!

Note:

-I typically allow the potatoes to cool for about 10 minutes. I serve this Simple Potato Salad while it is still warm.

-I will mix the remaining ingredients and allow them to set aside for the 10 minutes as the potatoes cool.
