This potato salad recipe calls for jalapeño peppers, which gives it a real kick. This salad goes well with just about anything but really compliments barbecued pork.

Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled, cut into small cubes

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion

  • 1/4 cup feta, crumbled

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, or to taste

  • 2 large jalapeños, seeded, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Wash, seed, and dice the jalapeño. Place into a small glass dish (a small drinking glass works well. Add 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar to jalapeño pieces. Let the mixture sit for 20 to 30 minutes.

  3. After this time, remove jalapeño, set aside until ready to use; reserve 1 tablespoon of the white wine vinegar. 

  4. Bring a large pot of water to boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Add potatoes and cook for 20 minutes, or until they are easily pierced through with a knife. Once cooked, drain potatoes, place into an ice bath for 10 minutes, or until sufficiently cooled off. Drain potatoes once more and set aside.

  5. Combine mayonnaise, mustard, oil, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Add potatoes, green onion, jalapeño pieces, and feta to the mixture. Toss to coat well. Transfer to a serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap. 

  6. Place into the refrigerator and let potato salad cool for 2 hours before serving. Serve with your favorite grilled, slow cooked, baked, broiled, or fried meats.  

  7. Serve and enjoy!

Tip

  • Store any leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to three days after initial preparation.

Recipe Variation

  • Use grated sharp cheddar cheese instead of feta.
