Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Baby potatoes (red or yellow)
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 3 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Fish sauce
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Red chili, finely chopped
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 cup Roasted peanuts, chopped
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into halves or quarters if they are large.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Adjust to taste if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked potatoes with vegetable oil to lightly coat them.
Add the sliced red onion, finely chopped red chili, fresh cilantro leaves, mint leaves, green onions, and half of the chopped roasted peanuts to the bowl with the potatoes.
Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and sprinkle the remaining roasted peanuts on top as a garnish.
Serve immediately at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Thai Styled Potato Salad!
