Note

This recipe focuses on the potato component. For a full salad, add 2-3 cups of mixed greens, diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to the bowl before adding the hot potatoes.

For added flavor, toss the warm potatoes with a simple vinaigrette made from olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper before serving.

Ensure the potatoes are hot when added to the salad to maintain the "hot and cold" contrast. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Variations: Add grilled chicken or tofu for protein. Use different vegetables based on seasonal availability.
