My neighbor served this at a baby shower and everyone wanted a copy of the recipe. This was addictive and had a unique, fresh taste. Don't leave out the bacon at the end..it is an essential ingredient, as is the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Ingredients:
3 lbs red potatoes, unpeeled |
2 teaspoons salt, divided |
1 cup mayonnaise (real mayo) |
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can chopped green chilies |
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish |
3 green onions, chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1-2 limes, depending on size of your limes) |
1 fresh garlic clove, minced |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
4 slices maple bacon, cooked and crumbled |
Directions:
1. Cook potatoes in boiling water to cover along with 1 tsp of the salt until fork tender, about 15 minutes or so (will vary based on size of potatoes).
2. Drain and cool.
3. Cut potatoes into bite sized chunks.
4. Stir together the mayonnaise, chilies, chopped cilantro, green onions, lime juice, garlic, black pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoons salt in a large bowl.
5. Add potatoes and toss to coat.
6. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.
7. Just before serving, stir in bacon crumbles and garnish with additional fresh cilantro.
