I first made this potato salad for a family celebration. Everyone loved it, but some mentioned it was rather spicy. So the next time I made it, I added some fresh pineapple to cool off the spicy heat. It was a total hit!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 lb yukon gold potatoes, cut into about 3/4 inch cubes
3 Tbsp olive oil
3/4 tsp ground chipotle chile powder, or to taste
3/4 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/3 c sour cream
2/3 c crumbled cotija cheese (may substitute with feta cheese)
2 Tbsp lime juice
4 oz spanish chorizo sausage, casings removed, chopped
2/3 c diced red bell pepper
1/4 c diced poblano pepper, seeded
1/2 c green onion
3/4 c diced pineapple
3 Tbsp chopped cilantro
2 Tbsp toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
lime slices, if desired, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with non-stick foil. In a large bowl, toss potatoes, olive oil, chile powder, and kosher salt. Spread potatoes on baking sheet. Roast 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and slightly browned around edges. Remove from oven; let cool slightly.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, over medium high heat, add chorizo. Cook chorizo, stirring occasionally, 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer to a paper-lined plate. Set aside.
  • 3. In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, Cotija cheese, and lime juice until well combined. When potatoes have cooled slightly but are still warm, add potatoes to mayonnaise-cheese-lime mixture. Toss until well combined. Add cooked chorizo, red bell pepper, Poblano pepper, green onion, pineapple, and cilantro; toss to mix. Sprinkle pepitas over top of potato salad. If desired, garnish with lime slices. Serve room temperature.

I love the addition of the fiesta corn and black beans. They add a nice pop of color and flavor.

I would make this potato salad again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less mayonnaise and I would add some chopped onion and celery.

This potato salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I followed the recipe exactly and my potato salad turned out runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This potato salad is a bit bland. I think it needs more seasoning.

I'm not sure I like the combination of flavors in this potato salad. It's a bit too sweet for my taste.
