Steps:
- 1. The dressing should be the consistency of thin sour cream, or heavy cream, with a soft yellow color.
- 2. Chop potatoes into bite size pieces. Gently stir dressing into potatoes, onions, eggs and pickles. Refrigerate.
- 3. If possible, let sit for 8 hours before serving. Garnish with Paprika, chives, and/or hard cooked sliced eggs.
Tips:
- To make the creamiest piña colada, use fresh pineapple juice. You can make your own by blending pineapple chunks and straining the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Use a high-quality light rum for a smooth flavor. Some good options include Bacardi Silver, Havana Club Añejo Blanco, and Mount Gay Eclipse Silver.
- If you don't have Coco Lopez, you can make your own coconut cream by blending unsweetened shredded coconut with a little bit of water. You can also use canned coconut milk, but it will be less creamy.
- Serve your piña colada with a pineapple wedge, a maraschino cherry, or a sprinkle of grated nutmeg.
- For a fun twist, try adding a scoop of pineapple sherbet or vanilla ice cream to your piña colada.
- If you're feeling adventurous, you can also try making a piña colada with other tropical fruits, such as mango, papaya, or strawberry.
