Chile Cumin Potato Taco Salad

Potato salad season is here and this zesty Chile Cumin Potato Taco Salad is perfect as a main entree for lunch or dinner. Packed with bold and spicy flavors, this spud salad makes for an unforgettable dish brimming with Mexican-inspired ingredients. Idaho® potatoes are tossed in a cumin-ancho chile sauce and combined with fresh romaine lettuce, chopped tomatoes and cooked corn kernels. Drizzle a bright ancho vinaigrette over the salad as a finishing touch. Pro tip: After removing the potatoes from the oven and tossing them with the ancho chile sauce and cumin, put them back into the oven for an additional five minutes. This will allow them to fully absorb the seasonings and develop a golden-brown color.

Ask Dr. Potato

Q: After boiling potatoes, how can I keep them from turning brown overnight so I can make potato salad the next day?

A: Place the potatoes in a glass or plastic bowl. Submerge them in water and then add some acidity like a teaspoon of concentrated lemon juice or white wine vinegar to keep them from browning. Cover in plastic wrap and then place the bowl in the fridge.
