Creamy Avocado Potato Salad Recipe

Share With Friends!

Summer is here and in making an effort to not load up my potato salad with mayo like normal I am trying new things to use instead. Some of them have been a BIG miss and some of them have turned out totally awesome! As I try new combinations of potato salad the ones that turn out great I will be sharing here on the blog so make sure you check back often to find more potato salad recipes 🙂

This creamy Avocado Potato Salad is easy to make, and not much more effort then using mayo when using the avocado instead!

I brought this Creamy Avocado Potato Salad with us to my parents house for our Memorial Day get together and everyone loved it! My dad is not normally a fan of recipes that take the mayo out of potato salad but he enjoyed this one 🙂

Creamy Avocado Potato Salad

Creamy Avocado Potato Salad Ingredients

• 3 pounds russet potatoes (however red potatoes I think would work great too)
• 2 avocados
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1/2 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
• 1/2 tablespoon dried cilantro
• 1 small onion diced small
• 2 green onions
• dash of cayenne pepper

Creamy Avocado Potato Salad Directions:

Get a large pot and fill with water, wash potatoes and then add to water. Bring to a boil and boil for 15-20 minutes. (until potatoes are soft enough to stab a knife thru them). Once they are done, drain water from them and let them cool. You can speed up the cooling time by putting them in the fridge or running cold water over them. You want them cool before adding your other ingredients.

Dice your small onion into small pieces and set aside.

Then using your food processor (a blender will work too) deskin and remove the seed from the avocados and place into food processor. Blend until smooth consistency. Add in garlic powder, cilantro, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and blend till mixed well.

Once potatoes are cool, slice them into bite size pieces and put into a large bowl.

Then add in  avocado mix and onions and mix well.

Top with diced green onions.
