Potato Salad

[caro]

Cooking for Fathers' Day tomorrow, and I made this ahead of time. It was pronounced "awesome" (by, granted, my mother), and it occurred to me it might be a good idea to remember how the hell I made it.

Awesome Vegan Potato Salad
Makes: a buttload of servings

You will need:

• 20 boiling potatoes, halved (I think this is about 4-5 pounds?)
  
• 1/2 red onion, diced
  
• 3 stalks celery, diced
  
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
  
• 3 large dill pickles, roughly chopped (or 10 sweet gherkins, if you're into that kind of thing)
  
• 1 can black olives, roughly chopped
  
• 1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
  
• 1.5 - 2 cups Vegenaise
  
• 4 Tablespoons dijon mustard
  
• 1 Tablespoon Chinese hot mustard
  
• 2 Tablespoons smoked paprika
  
• kosher salt, to taste (probably a lot)
  
• black pepper, to taste

Boil the potatoes until they can be easily pierced. Mash half of them and roughly chop the other half, then dump them in a bowl and let them cool.

Then dump everything else in and mix it up. Taste, adjust seasoning, mix, etc, until it is perfect.

Then serve it to your unreasonably large family.

This sounds great. Need to try it...

Love the direction "serve it to your unreasonably large family".
I can do that! ^_^

Oh, let me know if you do. My mother is still in shock that anything vegan doesn't taste completely disgusting so it is possible her opinion is a result of low standards.
