Steps:
- To make the best potato salad with mayo, place potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover by at least 1-2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, add a good pinch of salt, and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain in a colander but do not rinse them.
- Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and drizzle with vinegar. Set aside and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, in a separate large bowl combine mayonnaise, salt and pepper to taste, lime juice, garlic, grated onion, chopped olives (green olives are usually used in this dish although I used Kalamata olives for mine), mint, cilantro (or parsley), and green onions. If desired, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs (in this case, stir in an additional 1/4 cup of mayo into the mixture).
- Add cool potatoes to the mayo mixture, stirring gently to combine. Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours (or more) before serving.
- Garnish top of the Brazilian potato salad with whole olives and chopped green onions. Enjoy!

BRAZILIAN POTATO SALAD AKA
*THIS IS AN ADOPTED RECIPE AS OF 16 AUGUST 2006.* Pronounced "mayonais-ie" this is one of my favorite food discoveries as a wife of a Brazilian. I have had this served to me at many Brasilian cook-outs, called "churrasco" in Brazil, and have had it in restaurants both in the U.S. and Brazil - This version comes from the kitchen of my wonderful mother-in-law, Dona Alvina. She uses canned corn, but the canned corn in Brazil is different (firmer?) that what I've found in the US, so I use frozen corn.

MAIONESE BRAZILIAN POTATO SALAD
This potato salad seems lighter than the American version in my opinion, and is great eaten chilled on a hot day. Use the olives of your choice, but kalamata would be too strong. You can substitute many vegetables with frozen defrosted ones to save time. Where I said "1/3 cup" I mean a handful, but recipezaar did not like that, so 1/3 cup it is.

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.

Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes for a more flavorful salad. Red potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and fingerling potatoes are all good choices.
- Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- While the potatoes are cooking, make the dressing. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
- Add the cooked potatoes to the dressing while they are still warm. This will help the flavors to absorb into the potatoes.
- Garnish the salad with chopped parsley, red onion, or chives before serving.
