Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Potatoes: In a large Dutch oven or pot, combine cold water, potatoes, and 2 tablespoons of kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. (5 minutes)

02

Step
8 mins

Cook the Potatoes: Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are just fork-tender. (6-8 minutes)

03

Step
45 mins

Cool the Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and place them in a large bowl. Gently toss with butter and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt. Refrigerate, uncovered, until completely cooled. (approximately 45 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, Sriracha chili sauce, sweet Thai chili sauce, and rice vinegar until well combined.

05

Step
5 mins

Combine and Serve: Add the hard-cooked eggs and chopped celery to the cooled potatoes. Gently stir in the mayonnaise mixture until everything is well coated. Top with sliced scallions and a drizzle of Sriracha for an extra kick. Serve chilled.

For an even creamier texture, consider using Japanese mayonnaise (Kewpie) in place of regular mayonnaise.
Adjust the amount of Sriracha to suit your spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute with regular milk mixed with a teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar.
This salad is best when made a few hours ahead of time, allowing the flavors to meld together.
