This is a yummy variation of Potato Salad With Lemon-Dill Vinaigrette, suggested in the same Lorna Sass cookbook. It is delicious warm, at room temperature, or cold. It doubles well if you are making for a larger group.

A fresh and delicious take on the potato salad. I loved the lime/cilantro flavour. Omitted the hot pepper as kids were dining as well. Will make again! Made for 'PRMR

    Was good; just not spicy enough for my taste. Would recommend chili, cumin, garlic and a touch of hot sauce to the vinaigrette for that extra punch (from a very similar recipe). Try corn and sliced black olives also for a variation. Since I'm from Texas I like really spicy food so the extra spices should be to taste.

    I love this tater salad, I did add in the jalapeno and it took this over the top, I omitted the cilantro as I did not have any to add in, I cooked some garlic cloves in with the potatoes then mashed them in the oil before adding to the salad, I will make again soon, thanks for sharing appley!
