Brazilian Potato Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb red potatoes (regular potatoes will suffice)
1 green onion
1/4 limes or 1/4 lemon
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 stalk celery
1/2 carrot, grated
salt and pepper

Preparation

Cut potatoes in medium wedges and cook in salted water until done, but not smooshy soft.
Drain.
Put cooked potatoes into a bowl, while still hot, squeeze lemon over them (I'm estimating it at 1/2 to a whole lemon so add incrementally and taste); stir.
Let cool.
Meanwhile chop up celery and green onion.
Once cooled add the mayonnaise,add celery and green onions, then shaved carrot stalk with a vegetable peeler, Stir until mixed but do not over stir or potatoes will become mushy.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
