Crispy Vegan Potato Salad Recipe

You know how much I love testing out new vegan recipes. If it looks delicious and there’s already a recipe, chances are good that I want to test it out, and that goes double when it’s something I already love like vegan potato salad.

Potato salad, for me, is one of those nostalgic recipes that reminds me of hanging out with my family during the summer for backyard barbecues, family gatherings and pretty much just summer. Each of my grandmother’s has a different recipe for the perfect potato salad and over the years–before and after becoming vegan–I’ve played with the ingredients, combined them and omitted the things I didn’t like to come up with my own version.

And then along comes this viral Instagram vegan potato salad recipe. Okay, full disclosure: I don’t remember if this was a vegan potato salad recipe or not but when I look at anybody’s recipes, I’m always in search of ways to veganize them.

This viral vegan potato salad recipe is quite easy, especially if you already know how to make potato salad. The key to making this recipe a crowd pleaser is two fold; you need crispy potatoes and fresh herbs. Everything else is up to you but these two are a must.

It’s easy and the best part about this vegan potato salad recipe is that you can make a big batch and add a few more veggies to turn it into a one pot meal, or you can add your favorite vegan meat alternative.

Take your time with the potatoes and the rest will fall into place, easy peasy.

Promise.

Smoky Vegan Potato Salad – One Bowl Vegan Recipe

The title is a bit clunky isn’t it? Yeah, I know but that’s the point here. The vegan potato salad is a whole meal on it’s own so you can make double to eat it for dinner or the next day for lunch.

There’s no story behind this recipe (you’re probably thankful for that!) other than I really wanted potato salad. I love it and I don’t have it often enough because potato salad, even vegan potato salad, can be quite the calorie bomb, at least in my opinion. Even if you swap out the vegan mayonnaise for vegan yogurt, there’s only so much you can do to make it calorie friendly so that you can add something else to turn it into a meal.

Obviously back in the day at a family barbecue nobody was thinking about calories so we happily piled on barbecue family favorites beside.

Yeah, I’m not doing that.

But potato salad is my thing so I had to figure it out. And instead of going crazy or considering it a “cheat” day because honestly, who am I cheating, I decided to make it a one bowl vegan meal. It’s like a one pot vegan meal only…in a bowl.

So, grab your cutting board and knife and let’s get started!

Veggie Loaded Creamy Vegan Potato Salad

It’s already September and I haven’t had any potato salad this summer…or maybe I have? If I have then I don’t feel like I’ve had a good vegan potato salad this summer and I was desperately in the mood for one.

And when I say desperately I mean that I’d been thinking about it for a couple of days. Not because I was craving it but because there were other veggies like lettuce that needed to be used before they started to wilt, so I put the potato salad recipe on the back burner, which only made it all the more delicious when I made it.

This is a pretty simple vegan potato salad recipe and I loaded it with extras because I wanted to turn potato salad into a one pot meal all on its own. Cool, right?

So let’s not waste any more time.
