Ingredients
6 potatoes (3 lbs)3/4 cup canned tomatillos, packed (or four fresh tomatillos, quartered)1 to 2 canned chipotle peppers plus 1 tsp adobe sauce1 tbsp fresh lemon juice1 tsp brown sugar, packed1/2 tsp salt1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro(optional: 1/3 cup diced celery)
Directions
Bring at least 8 cups of water to a boil in a covered pot.

Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Cover with cool water until you are ready to cook them, so they won't turn brown. When the water boils, drain the potatoes and carefully was them into the boiling water. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender.

While the potatoes simmer, purée the tomatillos, chipotles and adobo sauce, lemon juice, sugar, and salt in a blender. When the potatoes are cooked, drain them and quickly plunge into cold water to stop the cooking. Drain again and place in a serving bowl. Add the tomatillo dressing and toss well. Stir in the cilantro (and celery if desired).

Serve warm or chill for 30 minutes before serving.
