The Kitchen Witch

I <3 potato salad, especially for lunch. It’s one of my favourite things. But it can be a pain to make for just one person – peeling the potatoes, cutting, boiling, waiting for them to cool…

Then, earlier this week, I found a lone tin of potatoes lurking in the back of the pantry. Just one tin, crying out to be used. Now, I’m not much of a food snob, though I don’t buy many canned goods as a rule: the witch pantry, at present, has one tin of soup and two tins of pumpkin bought in Thanksgiving solidarity last year. (But I am a staid supporter of frozen vegetables &c.). But then I said to myself, “Kitchen Witch, potatoes are potatoes. And these are ready-made potatoes, desperate to be tossed into a gooey mess of mayonnaise.”

And thus “Quick Vegan Potato Salad” was born.

Ingredients

• 1 tin of potatoes
• 2-3 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
• juice of 1 lemon
• mint, to taste
• red onion, diced, to taste
• salt
• pepper

Method

1. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks and pop them into your serving bowl.
2. Shred the mint, add to bowl, then add the onion.
3. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then toss to combine.
4. Add the vegan mayonnaise, stir through, and you’re done!

Variations

• Add a spoonful of capers – though if you do, reduce the added salt.
• Instead of onion and mint, try using diced capsicum and grated carrot.
• Add a teaspoon of curry powder, or a little mustard for extra flavour.
