Ingredients
2 lb. small red potatoes, cleaned 2 ripe, Fresh California Avocados, peeled, seeded and mashed 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 green onions, whites only, finely chopped 1 large serrano pepper, seeded and minced 1/2 tsp. salt, or to tasteInstructions
- Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with water and microwave on high for 10 minutes. Test for doneness by piercing one potato with a fork. The fork should slide in with gentle resistance. Continue cooking if not done, otherwise carefully drain the potatoes and refrigerate them until cold.
- Cut potatoes in bite-sized pieces (quarter or dice depending on size of potato). Place in a large bowl.
- Stir in remaining ingredients, adjust salt to taste and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestion: If made in advance, sprinkle generously with lemon juice and place a layer of plastic wrap right on the surface of the Guacamole Potato Salad and refrigerate. Before serving taste the salad and add additional mashed California Avocado if needed.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
