Ok, I almost feel bad for posting this... because it is too simple. But it is also too good! This is my recipe for sriracha mayo. It also works beautifully with wasabi.

Sriracha Mayo

Easy: Creamy Potato Salad

If you grew up in Germany, you probably grew up with parties, barbecues and picnics where creamy potato salad was served. Every family has their own recipe (or buys terrible potato salad in big buckets at the supermarket) and the only ingredients that all of them have in common are potatoes and mayonaise. Other ingredients include Fleischwurst (a German type of bologna sausage), pickles, apples, onions, bacon, garlic, scallions, peppers, beef stock, cucumbers, beets, hard boiled eggs, and parsley. Some of these ingredients are excluded in my recipe for obvious reasons. ;)

The boyfriend requested I'd make potato salad for our birthday party - with his mother's recipe. So here is the vegan version of it!

Ingredients:

• 400g of vegan mayonaise [here is my recipe for a quick and easy vegan mayo]
• OR 200g of Mayo and 200g of soy yoghurt!
• 1.5 kg of potatoes (the waxy type)
• 500g of carrots 
• Pickles
• 2 medium sized onions
• salt
• pepper

Kitchen Basics: Vegan Mayonnaise

Having grown up in a country where it is not only fully acceptable, but almost expected to eat your fries with mayonnaise, I have developed a deep love for this artery clogging, creamy beauty. I have tried a number of store bought vegan mayos... and they just didn't do much for me - except for draining my wallet. 

When I put together the list of dishes that I wanted to serve at the boyfriend's and my birthday party, I quickly realized that I had to find an affordable way to make lots of mayo. German potato salad just isn't the same without mayo (yes, there are some versions with vinegar in them... but no! Mayo!), and a good aioli needs mayo [recipe for Vegan "Honey" Aioli here!], too. 

I ended up making one liter of mayo. Just enough for a good birthday party! :)

Here's my recipe. It's super easy, doesn't need any fancy ingredients and doesn't spoil as easily as conventional mayo because it does not contain raw egg yolks! 

Pureed arugula makes the mayo even better!
