This Haitian Potato Salad is creamy, savory, and filled with tender potatoes, beets, carrots, and eggs. The beets create its signature bright pink color while the chilled dressing brings all of the flavors together beautifully.
Boil the potato, beets, and carrot whole until just tender. Remove the carrot after 20 minutes and set aside to cool. The potato and beets will need to boil for an additional 15 minutes or so. You don’t want mushy root vegetables, we’re looking for al dente.
While the potato, beets, and carrot cool, boil your eggs until hard-boiled, about 10 minutes. Once cooled to touch, remove the skin of the potato, beets, and carrot. Remove the shell from the eggs.
Dice up the potato, beets, and carrot into ½-inch pieces. Roughly chop up the egg. Add everything to a large bowl. Now add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, adobo, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix until everything is well incorporated and the salad turns bright pink. Garnish with more chopped parsley.
Cover and chill for an hour to let the flavors come together and serve cold.
Notes
Quick Tips
Cook the vegetables whole rather than diced. This helps prevent them from becoming waterlogged during boiling.Be careful not to overcook the potatoes and beets. Slightly firm vegetables hold their shape better once mixed.Make the salad a few hours ahead if possible. I find that the flavor gets better as it sits!
Make Ahead & Storage
Make Ahead: The vegetables and eggs can be cooked up to 2 days in advance and stored separately in the refrigerator. The completed salad can also be assembled the day before. It gets better as it sits, so I highly recommend it!Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
