Still trying to come up with a menu for today’s or tonight’s event, then maybe you should consider this potato salad from Bobbi Flay. He has it on his menu at his famed Southwestern restaurant Mesa Grill. Everywhere I have seen this recipe has had rave reviews. It is not like any potato salad I have ever seen, but it does look tasty and maybe I will give it a try. Why not swap out the old, and bring in a new salad with a kick?
Ingredients
3 pounds new potatoes
Kosher salt
1 cup prepared mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
Freshly ground black pepper
3 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
1 large ripe beefsteak tomato, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno, finely diced
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/3 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
Directions
Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover by 1-inch with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until fork tender, 12 to 15 minutes and drain well. Let cool slightly then slice into 1/4-inch thick pieces and add to a large serving bowl.
Stir together the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour the mixture over the warm potatoes and mix gently until combined, mashing the potatoes slightly. Season again with salt and pepper, to taste, before serving.
