Time 45m

Yield Makes 12 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds waxy potatoes like red bliss or white creamers, scrubbed and cut in 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, sunflower oil, grapeseed oil or canola oil
1 small red or white onion, quartered lengthwise, then cut across the grain in thin slices
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano or fresh thyme
1 garlic clove, minced
3 eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
1 cup quick fresh tomatillo salsa
12 corn tortillas
About 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
3 ounces goat cheese or queso fresco, crumbled

Steps:

  • Steam the potatoes above 1 inch of water for 10 minutes, or until tender. Remove the potatoes from the heat but don't discard the steaming water.
  • Heat the oil in a wide, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the potatoes and oregano or thyme, and continue to cook, stirring, for a few more minutes, until the onions are beginning to color on the edges. Add the garlic and stir until it begins to smell fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the salsa and the cilantro and stir together.
  • Heat the tortillas. Wrap them in a kitchen towel and place in the steamer. Bring the water back to a boil, cover and steam 1 minute. Turn off the heat and allow the tortillas to sit undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Top the tortillas with the potato mixture and top the potatoes with another spoonful of salsa and some crumbled cheese. Garnish with more cilantro, fold the tortillas over and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potato types: This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Waxy potatoes, such as Red Bliss or Yukon Gold, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when boiled. Starchy potatoes, such as Russet or Idaho, are more fluffy and absorbent, and they will break down more easily when cooked.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: You don't want to overcook them, or they will become mushy.
  • Cool the potatoes completely before assembling the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when dressing the salad: You don't want to overdress it, or the flavors will be too strong.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later: Potato salad can be served warm or cold. If you are chilling it, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Potato salad and tomatillo tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The potato salad is creamy and flavorful, while the tomatillo tacos are tangy and refreshing. This meal is sure to please everyone at your table.
