the potato salad was sweet -- so Filipino tasting. it was delicious! so i made an even better version at home and it was an instant hit.
i'm not one to share recipes because i don't measure ingredients but on this one, you really don't have to. here it goes...
Ingredients:
Golden Yukon potatoes (use this kind as it is crunchier than red ones)
2 cans beets, cut into big cubes
2 cans pineapple chunks in heavy syrup, drained
celery, julienned
red onion, minced
Hellman's mayonnaise (i actually used homemade from the extra virgin olive oil i got in the Napa Valley)
sugar
salt & freshly-ground pepper to taste
Process:
1. boil potatoes until only half-way done; peel (it's easier to peel after boiling) then cut into big cubes
2. toss all ingredients into a bowl: start with a little mayo at a time until desired consistency is met
3. add about a quarter cup of sugar (I used Splenda); use more if desired
4. add some salt and lots of pepper to taste
5. refrigerate for two hours before serving

my aunt has a similar recipe which she calls "Russian Salad"
Sounds delicious. It's like Russian salad like Ate Noemi said. I wonder if the mayo can be substitued by yougart, I'm trying to control the cholesterol. It's worth a try, thanks for the recipe. I'm like you, I don't measure if it's Filipino recipe- puro eyeball lang.
my mom and my sister make red potato salad, it tastes like macaroni salad. it's the beets that make it red? i dont know how to make one so pardon me =)
I love potato salad. Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe.
oooopps i love potato salad too! thanks for sharing :)
noemi -- yeah, i was told it's like Russian Salad.
kk -- sure, you can use yogurt but the unflavored ones might make it a little bit sour so i'd recommend adding more sugar or using flavored yogurt instead. that's actually a good idea!
hipncool girlie -- yes, it's the beets that make it red. careful with them as everything will turn red including your hands.
rachel -- it's so simple and easy to make!
ate marie -- how's the dancing coming along? parang walang updates ah? :-)
