Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lb (930g) German Butterball or Yukon Gold Potatoes (sliced into 1" cubes, skin on)
3/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt
2 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
5 Large Eggs*
1 C (135g) Purple Onion (medium dice (about one medium onion))
1 1/2 C (185g) Green Bell Pepper (medium dice (about one medium bell pepper))
3/4 C (75g) Celery (thinly sliced (about 4 celery stalks - chop the leaves and add them to the salad too if you have them!))
1/2 C (15g) Curley Parsley (packed and chopped fine, reserve a few Tbs for garnish)
3/4 C (100g) Green Peminto Stuffed Olives (chopped + a few extra whole olives for garnish)
1/2 C + 1 Tbs (150g) Mayonnaise* (I like veganaise or just mayo (adjust up or down to taste))
2 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
3/4 tsp Sea Salt
1/2 tsp Fresh Ground Pepper
1/2 tsp Smoky Paprika (divided)

Steps:

  • In a large stock-pot, add potatoes and cover with cold water filling to 2 inches (5 cm) above potatoes. Add 3/4 Tbs sea salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for between 8-15 minutes. Butterball potatoes take about 8-9 minutes and Youkon Gold take about 10-12 minutes to cook. Simmer until just fork tender, but not mushy. Drain.
  • Transfer the potatoes into a large mixing bowl and add 2 Tbs of apple cider vinegar. Gently stir to incorporate the vinegar. Place in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, in a small sauce-pan, add the whole eggs and cover with 2 inches (5 cm) of water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and put lid on. Set aside and set timer for 12 minutes.
  • Drain eggs, place in a small bowl, cover with cold water and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Peel eggs, dice/chop leaving large chunks if desired and place in large bowl with potatoes. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sea salt, pepper and 1/4 tsp smoky paprika. Set aside.
  • Into the large mixing bowl with the potatoes and eggs, add the purple onion, bell pepper, celery, parsley and olives. Pour the dressing over the veggies and gently stir to mix. Taste for mayonnaise and salt adjustment and add plenty of fresh ground pepper to taste. Store in the refrigerator for at least an hour prior to serving. Flavor development improves as the salad chills in the fridge. Before serving, I like to let it set at room temperature for 30 minutes to take the chill off. Spoon onto a serving dish/bowl, sprinkle with remaining paprika and garnish with whole olives and remaining chopped parsley.
  • Store for up to four days in the refrigerator. It gets a little watery as it sets, so be sure to stir well prior to serving.

Potato Salad
6 to 8 medium red potatoes
4 to 6 eggs (if eggs are large use 2 eggs for every potato)
1 large bunch of green onions (2 if bunch is small)
1 10-oz. jar olives with pimentos, drained
4 slices of crispy fried bacon crumbled, optional (adds unique flavor)
1 c. real mayo, no substitutions

Steps:

  • Add Some Crunch: Incorporate crunchy elements like chopped celery, bell peppers, or even roasted nuts to add textural contrast and enhance the salad's appeal.
  • Chill Before Serving: Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld and enhances the overall taste experience. Plan accordingly and chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
