Brazilian potato salad is usually a side dish you will find in many variations at parties and BBQs. This one I make is simple and easy. It can be a basic recipe where you can then add other toppings accordingly with your family’s taste.  My husband likes it this way, so it is usually what I do.

6-8 medium potatoes

1 large carrot or 2 medium carrots

salt and pepper to taste

1 can peas (drained)

green onions (to taste)

3-4 T mayo

Boil potatoes and carrots until soft. Dice them. In a large bowl, mix potatoes, carrots, salt, pepper, peas, green onions and mayo.

Other things you can add to this basic recipe:

Diced boiled eggs

Bacon

Tomatoes

Diced onions

Shredded chicken

Ham and Cheese (diced)

Green Peppers

Corn

Diced apples

Palmito (hearts of Palms)

Raisins

Olives

Enjoy!
