Title: Leesa's Inspired Cold Potato Salad
Categories: Side Salad Vegetable
Yield: 1 Recipe
| 1 | lb | Small new potatoes, unpeeled |
| 1 | Lime, halved | |
| Salt & pepper | ||
| Ground serrano chile | ||
| Jalapeno chiles, sliced |
Place the potatoes in a pot of water & bring to a boil. If the potatoes are quite small, leave whole, if larger you may need to halve or quarter them, but do not make them too small. Simmer potatoes until they are cooked through, but do not overcook them. Remove from heat, drain & plunge into cold water to stop them cooking. Chil lightly in the refrigerator.
When ready to serve, slice the potatoes fairly thickly. Sprinkle with salt & pepper & generously spray with the juice of 1/2 a lime, use a whole lime if they are small. Sprinkle with serrano chile powder (this is available from Mexican or Spanish style supermarkets & imparts a more smoky flavour than ground red chiles) & garnish with jalapenoes. Serve as part of a salad buffet.
This is an excellent dish to take on a picnic. Prepare it at the picnic, just cook the potatoes before you go & serve as part of a salad.
