The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post
- Place the baby (or miniature) potatoes in a pan of cold water and bring to the boil (no need to peel them). Turn down the heat and cook for 15 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Place the mayonnaise, creme fraiche, sriracha, honey, and lime zest in a bowl.
- Whisk the dressing ingredients together.
- When the potatoes are cooled, mix in the dressing, season with salt and pepper and scatter over the chopped coriander leaves. Place into a serving bowl and refrigerate until needed.

🍴 Serving suggestions
Serve the spicy potato salad as part of a barbecue or buffet, with my lamb, feta & mint burgers, tuna pasta salad, curried rice salad, and green salad.
It’s also great with air fryer chicken breasts and courgette & feta burgers!
📖 Variations
- Up the spice by adding a teaspoon of chilli flakes.
- Add some veggies such as tinned sweetcorn, chopped red peppers, or cherry tomatoes.
- Don’t like coriander? Garnish with chopped parsley instead.
- Feeding a crowd? Make a double batch!
- Can’t get hold of baby or miniature potatoes? Peel and chop the same weight of floury white potatoes into bitesize chunks. Cook as directed but reduce the cooking time to 7-8 minutes. Drain and mix with the dressing before the potatoes start turning grey!

🥡 Storage
The potato salad can be kept in the fridge (covered) for up to 3 days. It’s not suitable for home freezing.
