How To Make Southwest Potato Salad?
- Prepare the Dressing: In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lime juice, chipotle pepper puree, diced tomato, cilantro, scallions, red onion, cayenne pepper, and garlic. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Combine with Potatoes: Place the warm, sliced potatoes in a large bowl, pour the dressing over the potatoes, and mix well to coat each slice.
- Final Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
- Serve: Serve this salad warm or at room temperature for the best Southwest flavors!
Recipe Tips :
- Use Warm Potatoes: Mix the dressing with warm potatoes for better absorption of flavors, making each bite tastier and creamier.
- Slice Potatoes Evenly: Cut potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch slices to ensure they cook evenly and don’t fall apart when mixing.
- Adjust Spice to Taste: Chipotle adds heat, so start with a small amount if you’re sensitive to spice, and add more if you prefer a kick.
- Add Fresh Herbs Last: Add cilantro just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant, enhancing both flavor and presentation.
- Serve at Room Temperature: This salad tastes best when it’s slightly warm or at room temperature, as the flavors blend and stand out more than when cold.
How To Store Leftovers?
First, let the leftover Southwest Potato Salad cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
