Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1000g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1/2 cup sour cream
120g
2 tbsp salsa sauce
30g
1 cup scallions
50g
1/4 cup coriander leaves
3.75g
1 tbsp sesame seeds
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes if desired, or leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients.
2. Cooking the Potatoes:
- Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks for quicker and more even cooking.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water to season the potatoes as they cook.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and set them aside to cool slightly.
3. Pre-roasting (Optional):
- If you prefer a crispy texture, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Arrange the cooked potato chunks on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden and slightly crispy, turning the potatoes halfway through baking.
4. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of sour cream and 2 tablespoons of salsa sauce. Stir until smooth and well-mixed to create your sweet chili sour cream.
5. Chopping the Vegetables:
- Thinly slice 1 cup of scallions (both white and green parts).
- Roughly chop 1/4 cup of coriander leaves.
6. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the slightly cooled potatoes (or crispy roasted potatoes if you took the optional step) with the sliced scallions and chopped coriander leaves.
- Pour the sweet chili sour cream dressing over the potato mixture. Toss gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
7. Garnish:
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds over the salad for added texture and flavor.
8. Serve:
- Serve the warm potato salad immediately for the best flavor and texture. This salad makes a great side dish for any meal or can be enjoyed on its own.

Tips:

- Choose waxy potatoes like red or Yukon Gold for the best texture as they hold their shape better when cooked.

- Don't overcook the potatoes; they should be tender but still firm enough to hold up in the salad.

- For a more intense flavor, let the salad sit for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

- If you prefer a milder dressing, use less salsa sauce or opt for a mild version.

- Toast the sesame seeds lightly before adding them to enhance their nutty flavor.

This warm potato salad with sweet chilli sour cream is a versatile and delicious addition to any menu. Its combination of flavors and textures creates a delightful experience for your palate. Easy to prepare and packed with flavor, it's sure to become a favorite for both casual family dinners and special occasions. Enjoy this dish warm and relish the harmonious blend of spices, creaminess, and the fresh crunch of scallions and coriander.
