Brazilian Potato Salad With Mayonnaise Recipes

BRAZILIAN POTATO SALAD

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.

MAIONESE BRAZILIAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Rinse the potatoes, cube, boil until tender but not mushy.
• Peel and dice the carrots, cook until tender.
• Chop the green beans (I use frozen, defrosted, precooked ones) to size preferred. Place in bowl with cooked carrots, add defrosted peas and diced palm hearts(You can get them at specialty stores, and Trader Joes and Cost Plus often carry them) and olives.
• To the bowl, now add your potatoes, oil, onion, salt, pepper, and parsley. Slowly fold in the mayonnaise, you may not need all of it as it is to taste.
• The salad does not taste incredible right after mixing, you will need to let it set in the fridge, covered, until cool, or even overnight.

MAYONNAISE- BRAZILIAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Peel and cut the potatoes. Cut them into cubes, slightly larger than cubed hash browns and more rectangular. Put them in a pan and boil until just done, but they don't lose their shapes. Drain, set aside and let cool. Do the same with the carrots. Each pan should not boil for more than ten minutes. Check them for 'doneness' (not mush) before removing from heat.
• 2. Take the peppers, cut off one of the sections from each color of pepper. Slice each about 1/8th inch wide slices, then cut them into 1/8x1/4 inch rectangular cubes. Put them in a mixing bowl and set aside. Take the olives, drain them, and slice, add them to the mixing bowl. Add about five dashes of salt, mix everything very well. Check for cooled potatoes and carrots.
• 3. The potatoes and carrots should be cooled by now. Add them to the pepper/olive combination, mix well, add the mayonnaise. Combine everything so each piece is well-coated. Add the corn. Mix well. Serve cold.
