Potato Salad














I love potato salad but I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise. This version has less mayo, more spices and veggies, and a lot more flavor.

Serves 10-12 people as a side dish.


About 2.5 lbs Potatoes
4 sticks Celery
3 Carrots
1 small Onion
2 Tbs Olive Oil
2 Tbs Vinegar (I've been using white wine vinegar lately, but red wine vinegar or regular vinegar work just fine)
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Chili powder (optional)
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise (nayonnaise for vegan alernative)
1/4 cup mustard (plain yellow, spicy brown, or whatever you prefer!)
Chives or Green Garlic (optional)



Slice potatoes and boil until soft. Rinse in cool water and put in large bowl.

In small bowl add oil and vinegar. Stir in the turmeric, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture over potatoes, mix until potatoes are evenly coated. Put in fridge for 20 minutes.

Dice onions. Chop celery and carrots.

In small bowl mix mayo and mustard.

Mix the mayo/mustard in with the potatoes until evenly covered. Add the veggies and mix well.

On top sprinkle chopped chives or green garlic.
