Chinese Potato Salad

From United States Potato Board, About.com Guest

Looking for a spicy alternative to the classic potato salad? Rice vinegar and soy sauce lend flavor to a spicy dressing in this Chinese Potato Salad recipe. It would go very well with Chinese Spareribs. (Note: the cooking time does not include chilling).
