Instructions
Put potatoes (can be whole or cut) into a pot and cover with water. Put top on and bring to a boil, about 5-10 minutes depending on stove.
Reduce heat to a rolling boil and cook until you can pierce them with a fork, about 20 minutes.
While they are cooking, make the creamy dressing by putting the ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until creamy and smooth.
Once potatoes are done, drain and rinse in cold water and pat dry. Allow to cool completely. Cut if you boiled them whole.
Put the cut potatoes into a bowl and add the creamy dressing. Add the celery, green onions, pickles and pepper.
Mix well.
Place in the fridge to allow the flavors to mix in.
Serve with paprika if desired!
Notes
Use a waxy firm potato like a red or Yukon gold. Starchy potatoes like russets will get mushy. I like using the small round roasting potatoes.
If you are not using a high speed blender you can either soak the cashews overnight or grind them into a fine powder using a coffee grinder.
Tips to prep ahead:
Cook potatoes. Make dressing.
Baby/toddler food idea:
Great kid food. Make sure celery and green onion are chopped into small pieces.
