Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
Potatoes
2 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
Dressing
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 lime, juiced
1 1/2 teaspoons tamarind paste
2 teaspoons fish sauce, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar, or to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce, or to taste
Salad
1/2 cup sliced red onions
1/4 cup sliced red bell pepper
1/4 cup sliced jalapeno pepper
1 cup torn fresh herb leaves (basil. mint, and/or cilantro)
1/2 cup chopped roasted salted peanuts
Directions
Combine potatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, coriander, turmeric, and baking soda in a saucepan, with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer, and cook just until barely tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well.
Line a sheet pan with foil, and grease generously with 1 tablespoon oil; transfer potatoes onto pan, skin side down. Let cool, cover, and refrigerate until chilled.
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Brush tops of potatoes with remaining tablespoon oil, and season generously with remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until browned and crusty, about 35 minutes. Let cool to just warm or room temperature.
Meanwhile, add garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, lime juice, tamarind paste, fish sauce, salt, pepper, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and Sriracha to a small bowl; whisk to combine, and set aside.
Add potatoes to a bowl with red onions, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, herbs, and peanuts. Pour in dressing and mix thoroughly. Transfer to a serving platter or bowl and serve immediately.

Chef’s Note:
Tamarind pastes can vary in intensity depending on brand, so start slow and add more if needed. For a faster version, you can skip the roasting step.
