JALAPENO POTATO SALAD
This is a FABULOUS, light tasting potato salad with a kick! I'm not a fan of the super creamy potato salads that most recipes are like and I'm always fond of jalapeno's. This is the perfect blend! We like our potato salad on the drier side to get the full taste of the potatoes but you can make this as creamy as you like by upping the mayonnaise. It's super kid-friendly done just as the recipe states but increasing the ingredients probably takes it out of the kid-friendly zone. This is best served at room temperature right after it's made...but is also great chilled. Enjoy!

- Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate, then chop.
- Tip the potatoes into a large bowl. Add the salt, cheese, mayonnaise, jalapenos and jalapeno brine, mustard, pepper, eggs, scallions and gherkins. Fold everything together.
- Serve the potato salad warm, or cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Top with the bacon and more scallions before serving.
ROASTED POTATO SALAD WITH JALAPEñO-AVOCADO DRESSING
As one of the most adaptable dishes, potato salad has withstood countless reimaginings. In this version, roasted potatoes are paired with two types of beans: Cannellini beans offer a hearty creaminess, while green beans add a welcome crisp-tenderness. If you have garlic or onion powder in your spice rack, use it to add some umami to the roasted potatoes. The avocado dressing is zingy and full of lively flavors; make it as spicy as you can handle, and if you are looking for more tanginess, substitute the mayonnaise with sour cream or crème fraîche.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan and add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic or onion powder (if using), and about ½ teaspoon of salt. Season with black pepper and toss to coat. Place in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile make the dressing: Combine avocado, mayonnaise, dill, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, 1 jalapeño and salt in a blender or small food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and if you want it spicier, add the second jalapeño.
- After 25 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and toss. Push the potatoes to one side of the sheet pan, and add the green beans to the other side. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender and the potatoes are golden on the outside and tender all the way through. Don't overcook the beans; if the beans are done before the potatoes are ready, remove them from the sheet pan and return the potatoes to the oven.
- Transfer the potatoes and green beans to a large bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add the cannellini beans along with half the dressing and toss to coat well. Taste and check seasonings, adding more salt and black pepper if needed.
- To serve, squeeze the lime halves over and scatter with dill leaves. Pass the remaining dressing on the side.

POTATO-CHEDDAR SOUP WITH QUICK-PICKLED JALAPEñOS
If cheesy mashed potatoes became a cozy soup, it would be this. It's rich but not excessive, hearty but not heavy, and spiked with a little chili powder and some garlic to liven it up. The homemade pickled jalapeños give this a bright tang that perks up every creamy bite. Quick and easy to make, the jalapeños are leagues better than anything in a jar, and leftovers are excellent in sandwiches or scrambled into eggs.

Steps:
- Thinly slice the jalapeños, discarding the seeds if you like. Put slices in a bowl and squeeze in enough lime juice to cover them. Add a pinch each of salt and sugar. Let sit at room temperature while you make the soup. (The jalapeños can be prepared up to 5 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator; they get softer and more pickle-y as they sit.)
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery and a large pinch of salt, and sauté until lightly golden and soft, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and chili powder and sauté until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Add potatoes, broth and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are very tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender or transferring the soup to a regular blender in batches, purée the soup, adding some water as needed to thin it out. (The soup can be as thick or brothy as you like.)
- Return the soup to the pot if you removed it and reduce heat to medium-low. Add cheese and half-and-half, and cook at a very gentle simmer, stirring, until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Top each bowl with pickled jalapeños, plus a drizzle of their pickling liquid and a pinch of chili powder, along with scallions, cilantro and more Cheddar.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use waxy potatoes that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss potatoes.
- Be sure to boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm, as they will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the other ingredients.
- If you don't have time to pickle your own jalapeños, you can use store-bought pickled jalapeños. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to your potato salad, such as diced celery, carrots, or hard-boiled eggs.
- For a creamier potato salad, add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise or sour cream.
- Serve the potato salad chilled for the best flavor.
Conclusion:
This potato salad with pickled jalapeños is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. So next time you are looking for a tasty and refreshing potato salad, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
