Water chestnuts, soy sauce, and ginger add an Asian flair to this East-meets-West recipe for Asian Potato Salad. It's a unique flavor twist on a potluck-favorite side dish!

What You'll Need

3 pounds small red potatoes (see Note)
1 tablespoon salt

What to Do

Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover. Add salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
