How to Make Potato Salad with Carrots and Pineapple

Welcome to Panlasang Pinoy! What we'll be making today is a type of potato salad that is just right for this time of the year. Especially since Christmas is just around the corner and the new year is just around the corner. This is just right because it's very easy to make, but it's special and very delicious. And what I'm calling this is Potato Salad with Carrots and Pineapple. These are the ingredients that we'll be using for this salad dish. This is the potatoes and carrots. We'll also be using pineapple chunks, minced onion, ladies' choice mayonnaise, ground black pepper, sugar, and salt. Aside from these, we'll also be needing water and parsley. This is the complete list of the ingredients with their respective measurements. If you're ready, let's go ahead and make this salad. We'll be boiling water in a cooking pot. Once the water is boiling, we'll be adding the potatoes. We'll be using 3 pieces of potatoes. This is a baking potato. We'll be boiling this for 2 minutes. We'll be counting 2 minutes from the time the water starts boiling again. After 2 minutes, we'll be adding the carrots. What I did with the carrots, since it's a bit long, I cut it in the middle so that it'll fit in our cooking pot. We'll just be adding all of this and continue boiling for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the potatoes and carrots are now soft. We'll need to put this in a bowl with ice and cold water so that the cooking process will stop immediately. This is what we call blanching. The hot carrots and potatoes, when we put it in cold water, it'll slowly cool down. It won't completely soften, that's why the texture of our salad will be better later. We'll just let the potatoes and carrots cool down. After that, we'll just cut it into cubes and set it aside. Now, let's make our mayonnaise mixture. This is our salad dressing. What I'm using here is a 220 ml doy pack of Lady's Choice Mayonnaise. This is equivalent to around 7.5 ounces. For me, this packaging is very convenient because we just need to put everything in here and then we'll just throw it away. We don't need to measure it anymore. This is the onion. This is what we call minced onion. What I'm using here is yellow onion, but you can also use white onion. This is the ground black pepper. Just 1 1⁄4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. And this is the granulated white sugar. Just 1 teaspoon. And then this is the salt. When it comes to salt, it's up to you how much you want to add. Let's start with just a little. I just added 1 1⁄2 teaspoon. After that, we'll just mix it well. We'll adjust the taste later once we've added all the ingredients. For now, this is enough, especially the salt. For me, it's better if we start with just a little salt. It's better if the taste is not enough or the saltiness is not enough, rather than the saltiness. It's easier to remedy if the saltiness is not enough, which means we'll just add a little salt. But if the saltiness is too much, it means that we'll have to add more ingredients to balance the taste. So it's not that easy. Here are the pineapple chunks. And I added 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice. Since I used canned pineapple chunks, this has pineapple juice in it. So I added 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice to make it more flavorful. Here are the carrots that we cut and boiled. We'll just mix it well. We'll just fold it so that the carrots won't be crushed. We'll just make sure that all the carrots and pineapple in our mixing bowl are coated with our salad dressing. Next, we'll add the potatoes. Here are our boiled potatoes that we also cut into cubes. I'm using the so-called baking potato. This is probably the most common potato that you can find in the Philippines. So we'll just mix it well. And we'll just fold it again so that the potatoes and carrots won't be crushed. This is also the part where I'm encouraging you to taste this salad. So that you'll know if the saltiness you added is just right or if you need to add more. We'll also add our flat leaf parsley. What I did here is I just cut it into small pieces. This helps to add flavor to the salad. And it makes the salad look better because it gives a contrast. Just like before, we'll just mix it well. We'll just fold it. And we'll just put all the parsley here so that it won't be wasted. There's still a little bit left. We'll just put it here. And after that, I'll just mix it. I'll just cover my mixing bowl and I'll just put it in the refrigerator. It's better if we serve this salad chilled. So we'll just refrigerate it for 1 hour before we serve it. This is now our Potato Salad with Carrots and Pineapple. Come on, let's taste this. This is now our Potato Salad with Carrots and Pineapple. I told you, right? It's so easy to make. It's so simple. Let's now taste this. It's like we're just mixing all the ingredients. But I told you, it's delicious, right? That's why I'm going to prove it now. Mmm. It's so delicious. I can already taste it. What makes this delicious is its creaminess. And the taste of pineapple is also mixed. Mmm. The taste of pineapple is so delicious. And the creaminess of mayonnaise is also here. And there's also onion. And we also added a bit of seasoning, right? So the taste is there. It's so sweet because we added a bit of sugar. So it's perfect. The way we cooked the potatoes and carrots is also perfect. And it's more delicious if it's chilled. So I recommend you to refrigerate this before you serve it. This is perfect for meat dishes.
