2 pounds red-skinned potatoes (about 6 medium), cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
3 tablespoons vegan sour cream

I recently shared this potato salad with my friends Kris, Michelle, Emily, Nicole, and my father-in-law, Bob; and the reaction was unanimous-"Oh Wow! I could eat this salad every day. This is a keeper. You need to put this on your site!" At the risk of appearing unashamedly self-congratulatory, I have to agree with my discerning friends. This potato salad has a creamy yet crunchy texture, with a zesty flavour that strikes a nice balance between sharp and sweet. It's a wonderful example of how this quick raw vegan mayonnaise can act like the little black dress in your culinary wardrobe. With the right accessories -some fresh crisp vegetables and the right amount of sea salt and cracked pepper -the simple becomes the sublime, and this little potato dish is dressed to impress. Snouts far and wide agree -this recipe is a stunner, a winner, and not to be missed.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and won't get mushy when cooked, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boiling the potatoes until they are just tender prevents them from becoming too soft and falling apart.
  • Cool the potatoes completely: This will help to prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a good quality vegan mayonnaise: There are many delicious vegan mayonnaise options available on the market. Choose one that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Chopped celery, onions, pickles, and hard-boiled eggs are all classic potato salad additions. You can also get creative and add other ingredients, such as roasted vegetables, nuts, or fruit.
  • Season the potato salad to taste: Salt, pepper, and a bit of acidity from lemon juice or vinegar are essential seasonings for potato salad. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.

Conclusion:

This creamy vegan potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, tangy dressing, and variety of mix-ins, this potato salad is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a vegan-friendly side dish, give this recipe a try.
