- Peel and finely dice potatoes. Add to a pot, cover with water and add a large pinch of salt. Cook over high heat for 10 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Drain the water from the potatoes and rinse with cool water.
- Remove the tofu from the package, wrap in a paper towel and gently press down on the block of tofu for 10 seconds to release excess water. Using the large side of a cheese grater, grate the tofu block, being careful as it gets closer to your fingers!
- To a large bowl add garbanzo beans and using a fork mash. Then add in the shredded tofu, corn, carrot, serrano or pickled jalapeño, onion, mayo, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, jalapeno brine, nutritional yeast, hot sauce and mix well to incorporate.
- Lastly add in the chopped, cooked potatoes and gently fold in the potatoes.
- Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings to your liking! Serve on tostadas, in a sandwich or with crackers.
