Guacamole Potato Salad — The Lovely Crazy

IF you like potatoes and guacamole (probably%u00a0even if you think you don’t like potatoes or guacamole)%u00a0then%u00a0oh boy, do I have a treat for you.%u00a0

Guacamole Potato%u00a0Salad.. Only the best potatoes salad you will ever put in your mouth. %u00a0

I tried to make this a few weeks back and ended up not getting to my potatoes in time to use, so I had to put the salad on hold. But this weekend I was ready. The grill was prepped, the corn was husked, and the poatoes were boiled. Then it happened, I made the best potato salad ever. It changed the way I feel about potato salad. (I have never really been a huge fan)%u00a0Sure, I love potatoes, but in the past I have experiences to many%u00a0overly dressed, really heavy, and overall,%u00a0some pretty crappy paotao salads. This salad, well it is%u00a0the exact opposite.%u00a0This salad is all summer. Bright and light, so full of flavor, but not overly heavy and gross. I mean, its potatoes covered in guacamole%u2026 How can that not be amazing.%u00a0I am now a potato salad fan (for life!).%u00a0

So my suggestion for you. Have a cook out, invite your friends, grill up some veggies or whatever%u00a0and make a humongous batch (you will need a humongous batch) of this potato salad. Sit back and watch (while you are eating) and see peoples faces light up with joy and happiness. You will be number one. The hostess%u00a0with thte mostest. People will fall at your feet%u2026%u00a0

or not. (But probably)

So here, take a look, and make.. Your day, week,%u00a0life will be better for this.

The stuff; Potatoes, avocados, mini onions, and tomatoes. Pickled Jalape%u00f1os (with juice) garlic, and the juice from a%u00a0lemon And lastly,a%u00a0big bunch of cilantro, and salt.%u00a0

First things first,%u00a0boil the potatoes. Stick in a pot of cold water with a palmful of salt. Bring to a boil then turn down to a medium heat and stick a lid on the pot. Cook until fork%u00a0pierces easily through %u00a0then strain from water and let cool. When%u00a0cooled, but still slightly warm, dice them up into mouth sized pieced. Place potatoes back into pot and drizzle a few glugs of the pickled jalape%u00f1o juice over them. Place in fridge to complete cool.

While the potatoes are cooling down, mix up the quad dressing.%u00a0In a large bowl, take the avoado fruit and mash and%u00a0smoosh %u00a0until relatively smooth and mix in minced garlic , lemon juice,%u00a0and a sprinkle of salt.%u00a0

Dice up the onion, jalape%u00f1os, tomatoes and add to the mashed avocado and mix that%u00a0all up%u2026and try not to eat it all before the potatoes get in.

add in lots of chopped up cilantro

Nothing compares..%u00a0

Have a great day and get to planning you next cookout!
