Purple Potato Salad
- 2 pounds purple potatoes (about 1 /2 in. thick)
- 2 yellow crookneck squash (about 1/4 lb. each)
- 1/4 pound tomatillos
- 1 red bell pepper (1/2 lb.)
- 1 poblano chili (about 3 oz.)
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- Sugar (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt
- Scrub potatoes and place on a rack in a 5- to 6-quart pan over about 1 inch boiling water. Cover and steam over medium-high heat until potatoes are almost tender when pierced, about 15 minutes.
- Rinse squash and trim stem ends. Cut squash in half lengthwise. Set squash on potatoes, cover, and continue to steam until vegetables are tender when pierced, about 5 minutes more. Add boiling water to pan as needed to maintain water level. Let vegetables cool.
- Meanwhile, husk, rinse, and thinly slice the tomatillos. Stem, seed, and dice the red bell pepper and the poblano chili.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to touch, peel and cut into pieces no thicker than 1/2 inch. Put potatoes in a wide salad bowl. Add orange and lime juices; mix gently, taste, and if desired add about 1 teaspoon sugar (or to taste).
- Add tomatillos, red bell pepper, chili, and cilantro to potatoes; mix gently. Cut squash halves in half lengthwise, add to salad, and mix gently again. Season potato salad to taste with salt. Serve while still warm or at room temperature.
