Preparation
- Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, scallion whites, kimchi, ketchup, lime juice, sriracha and salt.
- Step 2
Place whole unpeeled potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 25 minutes depending upon size. Drain and cut potatoes into 1½-inch chunks as soon as you can handle them.
- Step 3
Transfer hot potatoes to a large bowl and toss with ⅔ of the dressing. Let cool to room temperature, or refrigerate until ready to use. Just before serving, toss with remaining dressing. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with scallion greens and more lime juice to taste.

This comment is for another ethnic potato salad, not included by Ms. Clark. The Indian potato (aloo) raita, made with yogurt instead of mayonnaise, can be cool or hot, depending on whether the recipe is from the north or south of India. Advantage: yogurt doesn't spoil as mayo does in hot weather, and also less fattening. Potatoes are cut in small dice after cooking. Add chopped scallions, cilantro, mint, roast cumin, and garam masala, chopped chile, salt and pepper to your taste.
I used a whole lot more kimchi (homemade) than the recipe calls for, and it was so good!
You couldn't pay me to use ketchup of any kind in a recipe, though. (sorrynotsorry)
The combination of creamy mayonnaise, the vinegary tang of the kimchi and the sriracha kick makes for a very satisfying side dish!
I doubled the amount of kimchi, substituted ketchup for Gochujang and 1/2 of the mayo with non fat yougurt
A regular favorite for a potatoes salad. Cut the potatoes up. Whole potatoes don’t come out even. More kimchi helps as well. Nearly doubled and it could potentially use more.
I used lemon in place of lime and used more juice from the kimchi. Used buffalo wing sauce for added kick and added fresh chives and thyme. The sweet from the ketchup added balance. I also added black pepper.
Isn’t always better to roast potatoes?
