Ingredients

• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 2 medium Avocados
• 2 medium Roma tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 large Jalapeño pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 clove Garlic
• 4 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Place them in a medium pot and add 4 cups of water along with a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Bring the pot to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just tender. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooling, dice the avocados into 1/2-inch chunks and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Dice the Roma tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and mince the jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat). Add these to the bowl with the avocado.

Step 5

Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.

Step 6

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

Once the potatoes have cooled to room temperature, gently fold them into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado chunks.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately at room temperature, or chill for 20-30 minutes before serving for a refreshing salsa. This salsa pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips, tacos, or grilled meats.
