This simple recipe packs a flavorful punch. Tender potatoes are tossed with fresh cucumber and crunchy bell peppers for a hearty side dish that also makes a tasty grab-and-go lunch. Warming cumin, zesty lime juice, and spicy jalapeño are added to the mix to create an Indian-inspired experience that will tempt your taste buds for a second helping. Top it off with some extra cilantro, and enjoy!

This was delicious!

Barbara Porsch

I have become a fan of Indian food lately because so much is easily adapated to WFPB. This potato salad sounds great, but I might add more onion and some celery. I love the crunch.

Chalene

I have fixed this potato salad a couple of times for get-togethers. It has been a hit! The second time I made it, I used a lot more cumin than was called for and I liked it even better. Definitely a keeper.

Khrista

How is this making 8 cups with only two potatoes??

Sue B

You are adding 4 1/2 cups of veggies (pepper, cucumber, onion, tomatoes) and since the 2 Large russet potatoes are being cut into 1-inch cubes that would be the remaining 3 1/2 cups.
