Are you looking for a recipe for mashed potato salad, or just general information about it? I can give you a simple, tasty recipe if you want. Here’s one example:
Mashed Potato Salad Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work well)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 2 tbsp mustard (Dijon or yellow)
- 1/4 cup chopped pickles or relish
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or dill)
Instructions:
- Cook the potatoes: Peel (if you like) and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Mash the potatoes: Drain and mash the potatoes until mostly smooth (some texture is okay).
- Mix the salad: While the potatoes are still slightly warm, mix in mayonnaise, mustard, pickles, onions, and eggs (if using).
- Season and chill: Add salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a little garlic powder or smoked paprika.
- Some people like adding shredded cheese or cooked bacon bits for a richer version.
If you want, I can also give a creamy, restaurant-style version that’s extra flavorful and perfect for summer picnics. Do you want me to do that?
