    Step by step instructions for making the spicy potato salad with baby potatoes.

    🍴 Serving suggestions

    I usually serve this easy potato salad as part of a barbecue or buffet, alongside my lamb, feta & mint burgers, tuna pasta salad, curried rice salad, and green salad.

    It's also great with air fryer chicken breasts and courgette & feta burgers!

    📖 Variations

    • Up the spice by adding a teaspoon of chili flakes.
    • Add some veggies such as tinned sweetcorn, chopped red peppers or cherry tomatoes.
    • Don't like coriander? Garnish with chopped parsley instead.
    • Feeding a crowd? Make a double batch!
    • Can't get hold of baby or miniature potatoes? Peel and chop the same weight of floury white potatoes into bitesize chunks. Cook as directed but reduce the cooking time to 7-8 minutes. Drain and mix with the dressing before the potatoes start turning grey!
