Pipirrana (Spanish Potato Salad)

  4.4 – 18 reviews  • No Mayo

One of my husband’s favorite recipes for the slow cooker is this pork roast. It usually comes with sugar snap peas and egg noodles that have been buttered.

Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Additional Time: 2 hrs
Total Time: 2 hrs 50 mins
Servings: 6
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 6 eggs
  2. 6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
  3. 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
  4. 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  5. ½ onion, chopped
  6. 1 large fresh tomato, chopped
  7. 1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained
  8. ½ cup green olives with pimento or anchovy, halved
  9. ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  10. 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  11. 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Place egg in a saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil, and immediately remove from heat. Cover, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, and peel. Cut eggs into quarters, and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl.
  3. Toss potatoes with eggs, bell peppers, onion, tomato, tuna, green olives, olive oil, and vinegar. Season to taste with salt. Refrigerate, and serve cold
  4. If you let it sit in the fridge overnight, the flavors will blend better, but add the tomato just before serving, so it doesn’t end up mealy.

I love this. My mom makes something similar but she’s always done it with pan fried grouper or cod. I don’t have time for that so I love that this one has canned tuna! It’s an excellent recipe. Thank you!
Tamara Owens
I took this to the Church picnic, and a lot of people liked it. Instead of the tuna (disagrees with self), I used pink salmon. All turned out well.
Christopher Ruiz
Great flavor- I used dried/salted codfish (soaked and rinse) boiled with potatoes- refrigerate overnight for better flavor, add olive oil after refrigeration to keep it moist,
Rhonda Richmond
This is a good idea and a great base recipe, but is extremely bland.

I am a mayo-lover at heart, but try to not eat it at every meal, so made this salad. I like it, but it needs something more for me. I’m resisting mayo (as I made “Kidney bean salad” too, which has plenty) so I’ll try adding zesty Italian to this before glopping it up…I’m going to add another small can of tuna, too – not fishy enough for me! Thanks for posting, AZAHAR, as I love every ingredient in this & will make it often (with my little tweaks).

Definitely fun to try a new recipe. Should have read the footnote: dont add the tomatoes until right before serving so it doesn’t end up mealy. Good to know, especially if chilling overnight, etc.
Christopher Walker
A delicious change from the American potato salad! I didn’t change a thing about it. This makes a TON, but it keeps well in the fridge. Thanks for this one!
Melissa Price
Made this for the office staff party and was a big hit!
Mary Wilson
This did not go over big with my family it was just to dry. I rated it a 4 because I’m sure its just a matter of preference. I had to add mayo before my family would eat this
Debra Wright
I give it 4 stars bc it’s good, but needs a bit more flavor. It’s an easy recipe. I made it for dinner and it was ready in a cinch! 🙂
Lauren Harris
Perfect. The Spaniards that I had the audacity to cook Spanish food for were delighted, too.
Frank Smith
I am so happy to have found this recipe! This is one of my favorite dishes, and authentic Spanish home cooking. Try it!

I always make my potato salad like this but use zesty Italian dressing instead of vinegar.really good at cook out’s.
Kevin Patterson
Fantastic combination of flavours. I love the flavour of cilantro so chopped up a few sprigs and added those in. Also added a finely chopped chilly as a personal preference. Used this salad as a filling for a toasted sandwich on Whole Wheat Bread with a few lettuce leaves and some salted potato chips for some crunch. The preparation for this recipe was very simple and the result was a simply delicious lunch.
Amanda Martin
I made this exactly to the recipe and didn’t care for it at all.
Timothy Hanson
This was only okay for me.
Stephen Wilcox DDS
a new fresh change from the all mayo potato salad… it’s fresh, colorful and very satisfying…
Kellie Lopez
Wow! A fantastic combination of flavors and packed full of nutrition. For people like myself who are involved with strength training, double up to 2 cans of tuna for that extra protein! Great recipe!
