Notes
This can be eaten immediately, but is better if it sits in the fridge for a few hours. Great to make the night before.
If you don't have baby potatoes, use big ones and cut into small pieces before boiling.
This is a vegan dish, but if that doesn't matter to you, regular mayo works just as well.
If you want to keep it vegan, I recommend Hellman's for the vegan mayo.
