It is that time of the year again when I eat white potatoes by the bulk. I love those tiny baby potatoes that pop up everywhere this time of the year. They are quickly cooked and make a fabulous side or main. This creamy potato salad with avocado will impress any summer guest.

Creamy Potato Salad with Avocado

Especially salads made out of tiny pearl potatoes are my favourite. There are many ways of making potato salads and this is my version of a creamy potato salad that is usually achieved with mayonnaise. For this salad I skipped the mayonnaise though and used avocados instead, they give it a light creaminess and bring a lot of healthy fats to the table. This is a very light and creamy potato salad. You may add more seasoning if you wish but I prefer to let the taste of those delicious new potatoes shine through.

This is a very light and creamy potato salad. You may add more seasoning if you wish but I prefer to let the taste of those delicious new potatoes shine through. Ingredients are listed as: metric ( imperial )
Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 450 g 1 lb potatoes, preferably baby pearl potatoes
  • 1 small avocado. or 100g 3 oz frozen avocado cubes
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 4 tbsp almond milk
  • 1 tsp lemon zest grated
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 spring onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp basil chopped
  • 1/2 tsp freshly chopped thyme or half the amount when using dry thyme

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes until done. An easy way to check this is by poking them with a fork or skewer. If they are soft all the way through they are done. Baby pearl potatoes need about 20 minutes.

  • Drain the hot water and rinse them with cold water. By doing this it will be a lot easier to peel them. Peel them while they are still warm and set aside. You can either leave them whole or cut them in half. If you use large potatoes cut them into big cubes.

  • Add the flesh of a small avocado, rice vinegar, almond milk, lemon zest, black pepper, salt and the garlic clove to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and scoop the cream onto the still warm potatoes.

  • Add the thinly sliced spring onion, parsley, basil and thyme and mix well. Serve while still slightly warm or let it marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Notes

If you have never used avocados read here how to know when they are ripe and how to cut them open the easiest.

    You make cooking seem so effortless. I wish I could do all this but it takes sooooo much time to even make a sandwich for me. I am so bad at cooking. Any advice?

      Trust me, sometimes it’s not effortless. I guess it’s a lot about wanting to eat food that I prepared myself so I know what goes in it – the rest is the pleasure of eating something that I grafted a bit over myself. My best advice is to start using some more exotic or rare ingredients – that way you won’t be so bored. Love, G.

    I don’t usually post comments on articles, yet this
    one deserves it. This is the first time I actually had a potato salad that I loved since going vegan. Thanks a lot. Using avocado is a brilliant idea.

    Hi! I’ve been following your site for a long time
    now and finally got around to leave a comment. I adore any type of potato salad. Never had avocado in one though. I am eating meat and everything but I came across your blog because of your baked figs on Gplus. Anyway do you know what’s really good? Slicing up raw radishes and adding them to your potato salad. It adds a great crunch and flavor. I added it to this one and it really gave it an extra kick. Try it and tell me if you liked it!

    Much love from Austin Texas! Just wanted to tell you keep up the good work!

    How long can you keep this in the fridge?

      It should stay fresh in the fridge for about 2 days. More than that and you’d have some discolouration.
