Vegetable Potato Salad
Servings: 8
Made with chopped hard-boiled eggs, mashed potatoes, and green onions, Vegetable Potato Salad is creamy, comforting, and oh so delicious! The addition of eggs and green onions might not be the makings of a traditional Newfoundland potato salad in your home, but it surely is in mine! You've got to try this version!

Ingredients
- 6-8 medium potatoes, white flesh, peeled and roughly chopped
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 15 ounces canned mixed vegetables, drained
- 6 large eggs, hard boiled, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add the chopped potatoes and salt to a large pot and cover the potatoes with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- Using a hand-held potato masher, or a potato ricer, mash the potatoes leaving no lumps.
- Add all of the other ingredients, and using a large spoon, vigorously mix all of the ingredients together.
- Taste for seasoning and sweetness and adjust accordingly.
- Transfer to a glass bowl with a tight fitting lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Notes
Once the eggs are cooled, I slice the egg in half length-wise and remove the cooked yolk. I only use the white portion of the egg in my Vegetable Potato Salad. You can most certainly use the yolk as well as the white, but it will result in a yellowish coloured potato salad. That's fine, of course, but I prefer to keep the potato salad looking a bit brighter.
