Spicy Chinese Potato Salad

⏱ 32 mins 🍽 4 serving(s) 🏷 Potato

This is a unique potato salad that omits traditional mayonnaise. Instead, it features a piquant dressing made with peanut oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil, spiked with garlic and cayenne. Cubed potatoes are cooked until just tender, then tossed with colourful bell peppers, green onions, and fresh parsley in the zesty dressing. The result is a lighter, flavour-packed side dish perfect for serving chilled.
