No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Potato Salad

I don't know about you, but I could eat potatoes every day!


Potato Salad
Makes 6-8 servings 

Ingredients
  • 6 large yellow potatoes, peeled, cubed and boiled or steamed
  • 1/3 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1/3 cup mayo of choice (I used avocado - you can also use vegan or regular)
  • 1  tablespoon grainy mustard (not spicy)
  • 1/4 cup minced pickles (I use Iranian ones)
  • 1/4 cup pickle juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon each salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill (use more if fresh)
Directions
  1. Mix all ingredients except potatoes and peas. 
  2. Stir dressing into the potatoes and peas. Add a little more mayo if you need to.
  3. Refrigerate until ready to eat. 
  4. You can make this recipe with either warm or room temp potatoes. If you make it with warm potatoes they will mash a little and you'll have a different texture. You may also need to increase the mayo as the warm potatoes will absorb the dressing a lot more.
