How to make this Whole30 potato salad recipe:
I like making this salad in steps so that I use my time efficiently.
Step 1) boil the potatoes.
Step 2) boil the eggs to make hard boiled eggs.
Cook both the potatoes and eggs at the same time on the stovetop so that they are both ready in 15-20 minutes.
Note: you can also make the hardboiled eggs the day before and keep them refrigerated.
Step 3) While the potatoes and eggs cook, make the creamy dill ranch dressing.
To make the dressing, you simply put all of the dressing ingredients (mayonnaise, almond milk, fresh dill, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt and pepper) into a food processor and mix. Easy enough!
Step 4) Cut the avocado at the very end so that the avocado doesn’t brown.
Note: if you want to cut it earlier, just sprinkle some lemon juice on top. It keeps it from going brown.
Step 5) Mix together the boiled potatoes, hard boiled eggs, avocado, and ranch dressing. You can do this while everything is hot. It tastes good this way.
Step 6) EAT. Nom.
Refrigerate your leftovers and enjoy this potato salad cold as well.
I hope you enjoy this potato salad as much as my family did!
FAQs regarding this Paleo Potato Salad:
Is potato salad dairy-free?
It certainly can be! In this recipe, the potatoes are bound together by the mixture of avocado and egg and the homemade ranch dressing.
The dressing is made out of mayo and almond milk. Along with lots of spices, so no dairy at all!
Do you have to use gold potatoes?
I would because they have a buttery texture and taste. But feel free to use red potatoes or your favorite potato of choice!
