Potato Salad

Potato Salad is a family recipe that is well-known throughout Brazil. Generally served as a pairing to grilled meats, it also goes very well with roast chicken, grilled vegetables, and green salads. It can even work as a dip for toasts! If you can't find the arracacha root, you can substitute with golden potatoes or yukon gold.
