Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water; season with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl. Add the vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to coat well. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the vegan mayonnaise, vegan sour cream, cornichon brine, vegan mustard and several grinds of black pepper in a small bowl until smooth and combined. Stir in the parsley, cornichons, celery and scallions to combine.
- Pour the creamy dressing over the potatoes and gently toss with a rubber spatula to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until chilled through, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Sprinkle with paprika before serving.
CREAMY VEGAN POTATO SALAD RECIPE
I recently shared this potato salad with my friends Kris, Michelle, Emily, Nicole, and my father-in-law, Bob; and the reaction was unanimous-"Oh Wow! I could eat this salad every day. This is a keeper. You need to put this on your site!" At the risk of appearing unashamedly self-congratulatory, I have to agree with my discerning friends. This potato salad has a creamy yet crunchy texture, with a zesty flavour that strikes a nice balance between sharp and sweet. It's a wonderful example of how this quick raw vegan mayonnaise can act like the little black dress in your culinary wardrobe. With the right accessories -some fresh crisp vegetables and the right amount of sea salt and cracked pepper -the simple becomes the sublime, and this little potato dish is dressed to impress. Snouts far and wide agree -this recipe is a stunner, a winner, and not to be missed.
