If you find yourself with potatoes and canned tuna in your pantry, you’re in luck! There’s a delicious and easy recipe that you can whip up in no time, which is so tasty you might find yourself making it every day. Perfect for any meal, this potato and tuna dish is both satisfying and nutritious. Let’s dive into how you can create this delightful meal.

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes

  • 1 can of tuna in olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (for a healthier twist)

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped (optional)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish

  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Cook the Potatoes: Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly. You can either peel them or leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients. Cut the potatoes into even chunks and boil them in salted water until they are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Tuna Mix: While the potatoes are cooking, drain the can of tuna and place it in a large mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, chopped onion, and celery if using. Mix everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Combine Tuna and Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, add them to the bowl with the tuna mixture. Gently mix everything together so that the potatoes are evenly coated but still retain their shape. Be careful not to mash the potatoes unless you prefer a creamier texture.

4. Serve: Transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs and serve with a wedge of lemon on the side. The lemon adds a lovely zing that complements the flavors beautifully.
