Smoky Tres Chiles Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the new potatoes and sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes (do not peel) and put in a medium pot (see Cook's Note). Add cold water to cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook until barely fork-tender, 12 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and immediately drizzle the vinegar over them; let cool.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, honey, chipotle chile, adobo sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
• Add the potatoes, green onions and cheese to a large serving bowl,. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss gently. Sprinkle with paprika and cilantro if using and serve.

Steps:

• Char poblanos over gas flame or grill until blackened on all sides. Enclose in plastic bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel and chop poblanos (should have approximately ½ cup) and set aside. Steam potatoes until just tender, about 15-20 minutes, depending on size. Cool slightly, and quarter warm potatoes. In a bowl immediately toss potatoes with Chipotle Tabasco sauce. Cook corn kernels in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain well and set aside. Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and chipotle chile. Add to potatoes along with poblanos, red peppers, corn kernels, and scallions. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with ancho chile powder as garnish.

Steps:

• For the rub: Mix together the paprika, salt, sugar, pepper, chile powder and dry mustard in a small bowl.
• For the potato salad: Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until almost done, about 10 minutes. Drain, place in a large bowl, drizzle with the oil and toss with 2 tablespoons of the rub. Place the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook until the fat renders and the bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes. Crumble the bacon and set aside. Sprinkle the sawdust chips over the center of the bottom of the smoker and put the rack in place. Place the potatoes on the rack. Close the lid and turn the heat to medium. Smoke the potatoes until fully cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing. Mix together the mayonnaise, cilantro, mustard, adobo sauce, salt, black pepper and scallions in a large bowl. Add half of the bacon and the potatoes. Toss to combine, and then toss with the remaining bacon. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring water to a boil and season water liberally with salt and cook the potatoes until just fork tender, 8 to 9 minutes.
• Combine chipotles, sauce, marmalade, juice, vinegar in a bowl then whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil.
• Drain the potatoes well, return them to hot pot to let water evaporate, then add immediately to dressing. The dressing will be better absorbed by warm taters. Toss with onions and herbs and season the salad with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve warm or chill. Drizzle a little more extra-virgin olive oil over the salad if it gets dry.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Oil the grill grates well.
• Slice the potatoes lengthwise about 3/4 inch thick. Place the potatoes in a bowl and add 2 tablespoons canola oil, the paprika and 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
• Place the potatoes on the grill, cover and cook 5 minutes, then rotate them 90 degrees F and cook 5 to 10 more minutes. Flip the potatoes and repeat on the other side. They should be slightly puffed and golden brown. Remove and allow to cool completely. Dice into 3/4-to-1-inch pieces.
• In a large glass bowl, combine the diced potatoes, celery, red onion and cilantro. In a medium glass bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons pepper, the capers and lemon juice. Adjust the salt as needed.
• Fold the mayonnaise mixture into the potato mixture until coated. Cover and refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes. Stir and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cut into bite-sized pieces.
• At the same time, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and chop when cool enough to handle. Transfer 3 tablespoons bacon drippings to a large bowl.
• Add mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, paprika, mustard powder, parsley, chives, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and seasoned salt to the bacon drippings and whisk until combined. Stir in red onion and chopped bacon. Fold in cooked potatoes. Serve at room temperature.
