This vibrant potato salad combines the zestiness of lime with the freshness of cilantro, creating a delightful dish perfect for any occasion.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch slices.
Uniform slices ensure even cooking.
Boil the potato slices in a pot of salted water until they are fork-tender, then drain and set aside.
Avoid overcooking to maintain a firm texture.
Dice the red onion and bell pepper into small pieces.
Smaller pieces mix better with the potatoes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed.
Combine the cooked potatoes, diced onion, and bell pepper in a serving bowl.
Gently toss to avoid breaking the potatoes.
Pour the dressing over the salad and mix gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serve the salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Garnish with extra cilantro leaves for a fresh look.
