  • 8 tbsp Light tasting vegetable oil e.g. Sunflower oil

Directions

  • Wash unpeeled potatoes and use a small knife to score the potatoes around its middle. Just lightly cut through the skin of the potatoes and do not make a deep cut into the flesh.
  • Place the scored potatoes into a big pot of unsalted water and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and cook the potatoes until tender, which takes roughly 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Drain cooked potatoes with a colander or a strainer and rinse them with cold water. Let the potatoes cool down for about 15 minutes before trying to peel them. Peel the potatoes, while they are still warm, into a big bowl.
  • Slice the warm potatoes into roughly 0.3 cm slices into a separate bowl, which is big enough. The product might look messy because the potatoes might be mashed.
  • Add in broth, Miracel Whip, vegetable oil, salad vinegar, mustard and seasoning into the bowl of potatoes. Mix the salad well.
  • The salad can be served warm or cold.
