Reader, I’m going to get right to it: we have been doing potato salad wrong.

And when I say “wrong,” I don’t mean the mostly-harmless category of mistake that includes not being able to remember whether your boss’s partner’s name is Mike or Mitch at the company summer family potluck.

I am talking about the apocalyptic category of mistake, like when someone plunked a ladle of mayonnaise into a bucket of overcooked potatoes for the first time and declared, "This is fine."

Friends, this is not fine.

Call me hyperbolic, but I believe that taking a medley of ingredients and sliming them up until they’re nothing more than a pale pile of gloopy, one-note mouthfuls is egregious.

Say it with me: we can do better.

Introducing, The Best Vegan Potato Salad.

This is potato salad at its absolute best: it showcases perfectly-cooked potatoes, it’s packed with bright flavor, and it’s creamy while still being wholesome. Herby, fresh, punchy, tangy, and not a drop of mayo in sight.

Let 2025 be the year of the Potato Salad Glow-Up. Bring it to your summer picnics with confidence. And while we’re fixing mistakes–just reintroduce yourself to Mike/Mitch, because he definitely doesn’t remember your name either. Then tell him you're the one who brought the potato salad 😊
