Brazilian Potato Salad Aka image

*THIS IS AN ADOPTED RECIPE AS OF 16 AUGUST 2006.* Pronounced "mayonais-ie" this is one of my favorite food discoveries as a wife of a Brazilian. I have had this served to me at many Brasilian cook-outs, called "churrasco" in Brazil, and have had it in restaurants both in the U.S. and Brazil - This version comes from the kitchen of my wonderful mother-in-law, Dona Alvina. She uses canned corn, but the canned corn in Brazil is different (firmer?) that what I've found in the US, so I use frozen corn.

Time 20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 -6 medium white rose potatoes (fist-size, not russet) or 5 -6 medium red potatoes, boiled in their jackets, cooled, peeled and nicely diced in 1/2 inch cubes (fist-size, not russet)
1 medium apple, peeled cored and finely diced (I use Gala or Fuji)
1 cup carrot, cooked till tender but not mushy, diced into small cubes
1 cup frozen peas, lightly blanched and cooled
1 cup frozen corn kernels, defrosted
1 cup mayonnaise, to taste (Best Foods or Hellman's, that's what they have in Brazil)
1/2 cup sliced pimento-stuffed green olives
salt and pepper, to taste (sometimes, I use Lawry's salt)

Steps:

  • Adjust the proportions as you like.
  • Toss to combine everything but mayonnaise.
  • Fold in mayonnaise and correct the seasonings.
  • Garnish with whole or sliced pimento-stuffed green olives.
  • (Prep time assumes you have already boiled and cooled the potatoes and other vegetables).

I'm not a fan of mayonnaise, but this potato salad was still really good. The dressing is light and flavorful.

This potato salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before a party and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld together and it was the perfect side dish for our BBQ.

I've never had Brazilian potato salad before, but this recipe was easy to follow and turned out great! The potatoes were fluffy and the dressing was creamy and tangy. I added some chopped bacon and it was even better.
