How to Make Asian Potato Salad

  1. Peel and cube 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover by about an inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
  5. While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  6. Once the potatoes have cooled, cut them into quarters (if necessary) and place them in a large bowl.
  7. Add the dressing to the potatoes.
  8. Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds to the potato mixture.
  9. Stir gently to combine, ensuring all potatoes are evenly coated.
  10. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
