* 1/3 cup nutritional yeast with salt, pepper, and paprika added to taste
* oil
* 1 lb new potatoes
* 1 good-sized sweet potato or yam (6-8 inches long)
* 1 mild tasting Apple (Golden Delicious is good), sliced or chopped
* 4 eggs, hard cooked, sliced
* 1/2 cup green peas, cooked until still slightly firm
* 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
* 1 can asparagus tips
* 3/4 cup Mayonnaise
* 2 tbl dill weed

* "Durkee's special sauce"
== Directions ==
# Cut tofu into 1" squares, 1/2" thick. Coat with nutritional yeast.
# Fry in oil over medium heat until golden brown and slightly chewy.
# Drain on paper towels.
# Cut potatoes and sweet potatoes into 1" cubes. Boil until tender.
# Drain.
# Mix together tofu, potatoes, Apple, 3 of the eggs, Peas, and Onion.
# Add enough Mayonnaise to make it creamy or to taste. Add dill weed, fresh if possible. Add enough vinegar, prepared mustard, or Durkee's Sauce (basically a mustard-vinegar sauce) to give it a tang.
# Garnish with additional egg and asparagus spears. Sprinkle with paprika for beauty.
# Variations and substitutions:
 Broil the tofu to reduce fat. It won't have a nicy chewy texture, though. Substitute Chicken for the tofu (as in the original recipe).
# Substitute plain, non-fat yogurt for some of the Mayonnaise to reduce fat content.
