Preparation of vegan potato salad with veggie mince
1. Boil the potatoes : Cook the potatoes with the skin on in salted water for 20-25 minutes. Then drain and rinse under cold water so that they cool down a little. Then peel the potatoes and cut into thick slices. Put them in a large salad bowl and leave to steam off briefly.
2. Prepare the veggie mince : While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the Lotao veggie mince according to the instructions on the packet. Fry in a pan with a little oil, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
3. Prepare the onions and broth : Cut the onion into small cubes. Heat the vegetable broth in a small saucepan and add the diced onions. Simmer for about 3 minutes until the onions are soft. Then stir in the cucumber water.
4. Marinate the potatoes : Pour the hot broth and onion mixture over the potatoes and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. This ensures that the potatoes absorb the flavors well.
5. Prepare the gherkins and mayonnaise : In the meantime, cut the gherkins into small cubes. Mix the vegan mayonnaise with the mustard until you have a creamy sauce.
6. Mix all ingredients together : As soon as the potatoes have cooled down a little, carefully fold the fried veggie mince, the gherkins and the mayonnaise mixture into the potatoes. Sprinkle the freshly chopped chives on top and mix everything well.
7. Season and chill : Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. For the best taste experience, chill the potato salad in the fridge for about an hour before serving.
