Yummy Malaysiana: spring salad with new potatoes

I think that if were going to continue to be grand old friends, youre going to have to admit that you at least occasionally wish you could have potato salad for lunch any day of the week. That you think its kind of lame that potato salad is relegated to backyard barbecue indulgence; packed up in Tupperware, saved for 3-day weekends, eaten with apology to the swimsuit youll wear the next day. If nothing else you might admit this so that I can feel my habits are less cuckoo. Youd do that for me, wouldnt you?

And of course, Ive been craving potato salad like a madwoman for the last week and who can blame me? Summer Is Coming* and picnic season is nigh. But given my need to not groan any further when bathing suits are required, I wanted to swap the standard mayo-assaulted potato salad had to be nixed for something with different proportions a salad with potatoes, rather than a straight-up potato salad. I let the market dictate what to fill the salad out with this week in New York is all about asparagus, sugar snaps, radishes and spring onions, and so is this salad, but in another month, I think it would be equally welcome with some cucumbers and green beans.
