TRICOLOR POTATO SALAD



Tricolor Potato Salad image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Time 27m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound Yukon gold potatoes, washed and cut into 1 by 1-inch pieces
1/2 pound sweet potatoes, washed and cut into 1 by 1-inch pieces
1/2 pound purple potatoes, washed and cut into 1 by 1-inch pieces
3 scallions, sliced
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons brown mustard
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon grill seasoning

Steps:

  • Put the Yukon gold and sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and bring to a light boil over medium heat. Cook until the potatoes are tender but still retain and hold their shape, about 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and let cool until just slightly warm.
  • Put the purple potatoes in a medium pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and bring to a light boil over medium heat. Cook until the potatoes are tender but still retain and hold their shape, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and let cool until just slightly warm.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix until blended. Add the potatoes and gently toss until they are completely coated.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor and texture, use a variety of potatoes. A good combination is Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and baby potatoes.
  • Be sure to boil the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and fall apart.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the dressing. This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs, celery, and red onion to the dressing. You can also add other vegetables, such as chopped carrots, peas, or green beans.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and let them cool slightly before adding them to the dressing.
  • Gently mix the potatoes with the dressing until they are evenly coated. Avoid overmixing, or the potatoes will become mashed.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the salad to firm up.
  • Garnish the potato salad with chopped fresh parsley or chives before serving.

Conclusion:

Tri-color vegan potato salad is a healthy, easy-to-make dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and backyard barbecues. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With its creamy, tangy dressing and colorful vegetables, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone.
