Ingredients

• 2 potatoes (preferably Yukon Gold or red)

• 1 cup of vegan mayo ( or any egg-free mayo alternatives).

• 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard

• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon of onion powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1C celery, minced

• One cup red bell pepper, diced

• 1/2 cup chopped red onion

• ½ cup chopped fresh dill, optional

• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (for flavor)

• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Method

1. Wash & Peel Potatoes: First of all wash and peel the potatoes. That way they will cook at the same rate, cut them up in equal sized cubes (around 1 inch). Add the diced potatoes into a large pot, and pour in cold water until they are submerged. Season the water with a large pinch of salt to impart flavor into the potatoes as they cook.

2. Make the Potatoes: Bring the water to a boil on medium-high heat. Once at a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender. They should be soft, but not mushy, so take care not to overcook them.

3. Keep Potatoes Drain and Cool: After cooking drain the potatoes in a strainer and allow them to cool for a few minutes. You can disperse them on a baking sheet so they will cool faster. This is an important step in keeping the salad from getting mushy upon mixing in the dressing.

4. Make the Dressing: Prepare the dressing while the potatoes are cooling down. In a medium size bowl, add the vegan mayo, and then add in the seasoning spices: Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined and creamy. Season to taste (less if you like mild, more if you like spicy).

5. Temperature Sensitivity Pour in the potatoes: When cooled, pour the potatoes into the bowl with the dressing. Add the potatoes to the dressing and fold them in gently so they don’t break apart. Stir in the celery, chopped red bell pepper, and chopped red onion (and a few pinches of fresh dill if the mood strikes). Once more, fold things together until all ingredients are coated in the dressing.

6. Chill: Cover the potato salad with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Giving the flavors time to mingle, so to speak.

7. Serve: Prior to serving, stir through the potato salad and do a final taste test. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding additional salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your taste. Top with fresh parsley for a splash of color.

8. Serve: Your egg-free, creamy, vegan potato salad is ready to enjoy! This salad is an ideal side to pack with to picnics, barbeques or family reunions.

Tips for a Perfect Potato Salad

• Potato Variety: The option of potato to use is important in note, the texture you want. Soft mushy potatoes starch such as Russets, instead, can turn too mushy, while waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold hold their shape too well.

• Cooling Time: The spuds must cool completely before you mix them with the dressing. Otherwise, the mayonnaise will separate.

• Additions: Get creative with your potato salad! Add extras like minced pickles, capers, olives, or even a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
