Crispy Potato Salad with Chiles, Celery, and Peanuts

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pounds baby fingerling potatoes, sliced crosswise ¾ inch thick

  • Kosher salt

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 red chiles (such as serrano or Holland), thinly sliced

  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated

  • ½ cup unseasoned rice vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons light brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger

  • ½ cup unsalted, roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped

  • 2 celery stalks, sliced in half lengthwise, thinly sliced on a diagonal, plus ½ cup celery leaves

  • 1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro

  • ½ cup torn mint leaves

RECIPE PREPARATION

  • Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover; season with salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until tender, 10–15 minutes. Drain; let cool.

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook potatoes, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 8–10 minutes; season with salt.

  • Meanwhile, bring chiles, garlic, vinegar, brown sugar, and ginger to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.

  • Toss potatoes, warm vinegar mixture, and peanuts in a large bowl; let cool slightly. Add celery, celery leaves, cilantro, and mint and toss again to combine. Taste and season with salt if needed.

  • Do Ahead: Potatoes can be boiled 1 day ahead; cover and chill.
