Brazilian Potato Salad Aka Recipes

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).

Steps:

• Scrub the sweet potatoes and cut off the ends. Place in a large saucepan and cover with water. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and cover. Bring to a gentle boil and boil for 20 to 30 minutes or until tender. Drain and let stand until the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into cubes in a bowl. Add the black beans, onion and cilantro and toss to mix.
• Whisk the mayonnaise, olive oil, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour over the warm sweet potato mixture and toss to coat.
• Cover and chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Cut potatoes in medium wedges and cook in salted water until done, but not smooshy soft.
• Drain.
• Put cooked potatoes into a bowl, while still hot, squeeze lemon over them (I'm estimating it at 1/2 to a whole lemon so add incrementally and taste); stir.
• Let cool.
• Meanwhile chop up celery and green onion.
• Once cooled add the mayonnaise,add celery and green onions, then shaved carrot stalk with a vegetable peeler, Stir until mixed but do not over stir or potatoes will become mushy.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes and carrots in boiling water with garlic and salt, until tender-about 12 minutes.
• Drain and cool.
• In a large bowl, combine cooled vegetables, eggs, peas, diced apple and raisins.
• Sir through the mayonnaise gently but thoroughly.
• Scatter with the chopped parsley and serve.
• Green olives can be added too, if you wish.
