Brazilian Potato Salad image

This recipe was given to me by my best friend who lived in Brazil for a while. Its a great barbecue side dish or potluck dish. *Measurements are approximate and are to taste* I personally like more lemon than stated below. This salad is supposed to be a little tart.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb red potatoes (regular potatoes will suffice)
1 green onion
1/4 limes or 1/4 lemon
3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1/2 carrot, grated
salt and pepper

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.
