Hatch Green Chile Potato Salad

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 pounds red-skinned or gold potatoes, peeled
  • 4 large eggs, hard cooked, peeled, and chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped, about 1/4-1/3 cup
  • 3/4 cup chopped celery
  • 2-3 tablespoons mild green chile peppers, chopped
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped jalapeno peppers
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise, or as desired
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or spicy brown mustard
  • 1 tablespoon dill relish
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Directions:

  • Cut potatoes up and put them in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and boil gently for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool completely. When the potatoes are completely cooled, cut into bite-size chunks.
  • In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, onion, chile peppers, and jalapeño peppers
  • Combine the mayonnaise with mustard, relish, lime juice, and seasonings. Add the potato salad and mix until well blended. If desired, add more mayonnaise.
