Kimchi Potato Salad
Ingredients:
3 lb. Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1" pieces
Kosher salt
1 cup napa cabbage kimchi, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, diced
1/4 cup chives or green onions, chopped, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 1/2 tsbp. dijon mustard
1 tsp. red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. honey
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
Gochugaru, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Put the potatoes in a large pot and sprinkle with 1 tbsp. of salt. Fill the pot with enough to cover the potatoes by one inch. Set the pot over high heat and bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat to maintain a simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the kimchi, celery, chives, mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, vinegar, honey, onion powder, smoked paprika, 1 tsp. salt, pepper, mixing until fully combined.
While the potatoes are still warm, add the kimchi mixture to the potatoes and use a large spoon, fork, or rubber spatula to thoroughly combine.
Once the potato salad has completely cooled, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a storage container with an airtight lid, and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight to allow all the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with more chives and gochugaru (if using) for a little extra spiciness, and serve.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
