Yield 2-3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. olive oil, divided
1½ lbs. Yukon gold potatoes (about 3 medium), cut into 1-inch pieces
1¾ tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2-3 chiles from a can of chiles in adobo, depending on your preferred spice level, roughly chopped, plus 2 Tbsp. sauce from the can
1 medium tomato, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
½ tsp. smoked paprika
½ tsp. ground cumin
2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
Chopped parsley and mayonnaise, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Place potatoes on a sheet pan and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. olive oil and season with 1 tsp. kosher salt. Toss to coat. Spread into an even layer and roast, tossing halfway through, until tender and starting to brown, 25 minutes.
  • While the potatoes roast, in a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chiles, sauce, tomato paste, paprika, and cumin and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are coated and the mixture has darkened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat and immediately add sherry vinegar; scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan and stir to combine.
  • Transfer the onion-chiles mixture to a food processor or blender (reserve the pan; there's no need to wash it). Add the tomato and season with black pepper and ¾ tsp. salt. Pulse, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed, until the mixture forms a mostly smooth, thick paste.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Transfer roasted potatoes to the reserved skillet; add the sauce and stir to thoroughly coat. Use a spoon or spatula to create three wells in the potato mixture; drizzle 2 tsp. olive oil between the three wells. Crack an egg into each well and season with salt and pepper. Bake until the whites of the eggs are set but the yolk is still runny, about 6-8 minutes. Top with chopped parsley and mayonnaise before serving.

Tips

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and won't fall apart when cooked. This makes them ideal for potato salad.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boiling the potatoes in salted water is the best way to cook them for potato salad. This will help them retain their flavor and texture.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely: Before you add the potatoes to the salad, let them cool completely. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what makes potato salad so delicious. Be sure to use a dressing that has a lot of flavor. A simple vinaigrette is a good option, or you can try a more flavorful dressing, such as one made with mayonnaise or yogurt.
  • Add some mix-ins: Mix-ins are a great way to add extra flavor and texture to potato salad. Some popular mix-ins include hard-boiled eggs, bacon, celery, onions, and pickles.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the potato salad before serving will help it to set and make it more flavorful.

Conclusion

Smoky Spanish potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its smoky flavor and creamy texture, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a new potato salad recipe, be sure to try this one.
