EASY FIESTA POTATO SALAD

I was getting tired of all the potato salads. Yummy as they all are, they all started to taste the same. So, I came up with a twist on potato salads when my oldest granddaughter Isis said," grandma, you should make a potato salad that tasetes like a taco." Great idea! And so I did! I think it DOES taste like a taco, but better!

"ROUTE 66" DINER FIESTA POTATO SALAD



I first made this potato salad for a family celebration. Everyone loved it, but some mentioned it was rather spicy. So the next time I made it, I added some fresh pineapple to cool off the spicy heat. It was a total hit!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 lb yukon gold potatoes, cut into about 3/4 inch cubes
3 Tbsp olive oil
3/4 tsp ground chipotle chile powder, or to taste
3/4 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/3 c sour cream
2/3 c crumbled cotija cheese (may substitute with feta cheese)
2 Tbsp lime juice
4 oz spanish chorizo sausage, casings removed, chopped
2/3 c diced red bell pepper
1/4 c diced poblano pepper, seeded
1/2 c green onion
3/4 c diced pineapple
3 Tbsp chopped cilantro
2 Tbsp toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
lime slices, if desired, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with non-stick foil. In a large bowl, toss potatoes, olive oil, chile powder, and kosher salt. Spread potatoes on baking sheet. Roast 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and slightly browned around edges. Remove from oven; let cool slightly.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, over medium high heat, add chorizo. Cook chorizo, stirring occasionally, 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer to a paper-lined plate. Set aside.
  • 3. In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, Cotija cheese, and lime juice until well combined. When potatoes have cooled slightly but are still warm, add potatoes to mayonnaise-cheese-lime mixture. Toss until well combined. Add cooked chorizo, red bell pepper, Poblano pepper, green onion, pineapple, and cilantro; toss to mix. Sprinkle pepitas over top of potato salad. If desired, garnish with lime slices. Serve room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use waxy potatoes: They hold their shape better than starchy potatoes when boiled, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water: This helps to flavor the potatoes and prevents them from becoming bland.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before making the salad: This will help to prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your potato salad: This will add flavor, color, and texture. Some good options include celery, carrots, onions, and bell peppers.
  • Use a mayonnaise-based dressing: This is the classic dressing for potato salad, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. You can also use a vinaigrette dressing if you prefer a lighter option.
  • Season the potato salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings until the salad is flavorful but not too salty.
  • Garnish the potato salad with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Fiesta potato salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and backyard barbecues. With its colorful ingredients and zesty dressing, fiesta potato salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
