How to Make Armenian Potato Salad

  1. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  2. Drain the potatoes and immediately rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  3. Once cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes.
  4. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch uneven dice.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped parsley (and optional watercress), red onion, cilantro, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  6. Gently add the diced potatoes to the salsa and toss to coat evenly.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
