Invention IV- Asian Avtar of Potato Salad

Posted by Picasa

Ingredients-
Baked potatoes
Raw but finely cut onions
Cilantro
Toasted Sesame seeds
Parsley
Fennel powder
Fresh lemon juice to taste
Salt and Sugar to taste

For the dressing - 
Plum sauce(found in 'ethnic food' aisle or Asian Markets)
Toasted Sesame seed oil

How to-
After potatoes are baked in microwave, peel, dice and add to a mixing bowl. Add all the dry ingredients except for the sesame seeds. Add in the dressing and mix the salad with bare hands in order to crush the potatoes and make the herbs stick to the potatoes evenly. Add sesame seeds last which keeps them crunchy at the time of serving. Serve hot or cold. I preferred it hot.

Onions can be dropped, but they lend a extra zing to this dish in the inventor's opinion.
