Easy Southern Style Potato Salad Vegan Plant Based Recipe

Southern style potato salad was an old favorite and it’s been ages since I had some. I just hadn’t gotten around to veganizing it. Which is unfortunate because this is SO easy. We made this for both a cookout and going away party (someone’s moving to Chile!) and it was fantastic. Just like the southern style potato salad I remember from when I was a kid. Creamy, starchy, mustardy. Delish.

Ingredients

• 3 lbs yellow potatoes, cubed
• 1 cup diced celery
• 3/4 cup diced red onion
• 2/3 cup sweet pickle relish
• 1 cup Just Mayo
• 1/2 cup yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon mustard powder
• 2 teaspoons salt

1. Bring 3 qts water to boil. 

2. Wash and cut the potatoes into 1/2 inch to 1 inch cubes and place in boiling water.

3. Let cook until tender, about 25 minutes.

4. Drain into colander and place back into pot. Allow to cool slightly ... for several minutes, but they do not need to be fully cooled.

It’s a beautiful thing. Goes well with any veggie burger … I like the I’m Possible Burger and grilled mushrooms like this Grilled Portobello Mushroom with Basil Aioli are awesome, too.
