Potato Salad Brazilian Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool until easily handled. Slice potatoes about 1/2-inch thick and place in a bowl.
• Whisk olive oil and vinegar together in a bowl; stir in garlic. Pour dressing over potatoes and lightly toss to coat.
• Mix red bell pepper, green olives, shallot, parsley, salt, and pepper into potatoes. Serve salad with lemon wedges to squeeze over each serving.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until a fork can be easily inserted and removed, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. During the last 10 minutes, boil the hot dogs and eggs. Drain everything, and set aside to cool.
• Peel the potatoes, and cut into cubes. Chop hot dogs. Place everything in a large bowl, and mix in the pickles, onions and peas. Peel the eggs, and grate them on top of the salad. Add mayonnaise and salt to individual servings.

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:

• 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.

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.

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:

• Grate the onion into a bowl until you have 3 tbsp grated onion. Leave the remainder in one piece and set aside. Add 1 tsp of the oil, the lime zest, tamarind, cumin, 2 tbsp coriander, smoked paprika and 1 tsp water. Mix well, then use half the spice paste to coat the steaks all over. Mix the rest with the lime juice, remaining coriander and the beans in a serving bowl.
• Light the barbecue (or see tip, below, to cook in the oven). Take a large piece of foil and drizzle with the remaining oil. Finely chop the rest of the onion and mix with the sweet potato, pepper and courgette. Wrap in the foil along with the bay leaf, if using, to make a parcel. Cook on the rack over the coals for about 20 mins, turning several times with tongs until the veg is tender. Tip the contents into the beans and toss well. Barbecue the steaks on both side until cooked to your liking, then serve with the warm salad.
