Description

This is not your regular potato salad. Potatoes are combined with roasted peppers, olives, onion and sweet pickle in a lime dressing. Try this when you want to be a little different.

Ingredients

6 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 fresh poblano chile peppers
3 hard cooked eggs, chopped
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped white onion
3 medium sweet pickles, chopped
12 green olives, sliced
1/4 cup lime juice
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon mustard powder

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the potatoes into a saucepan, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
2 Place the peppers into the oven so that they sit directly on the rack. Roast, turning every 10 minutes or so, until evenly charred. Place in a paper bag to sweat, then remove the peel when they are cool enough to handle. Remove the stem and seeds, and chop.
3 In a large bowl, combine the still warm potatoes, peppers, eggs, celery, onion, sweet pickles and olives. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the lime juice, vegetable oil, salt, pepper and mustard powder. I like to use a high speed mixing wand to help it emulsify. Pour over the potato salad, and stir to coat. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve.
