Baconjalapeno Potato Salad Recipes

JALAPENO POPPER POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them by an inch. Season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot, then mash briefly with a potato masher, so that there is a mix of mashed and chunky potatoes.
• Meanwhile, heat a nonstick skillet over a medium heat until hot, then add the bacon and cook, turning every so often, until crisp, about 8 minutes.
• Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate, then chop.
• Tip the potatoes into a large bowl. Add the salt, cheese, mayonnaise, jalapenos and jalapeno brine, mustard, pepper, eggs, scallions and gherkins. Fold everything together.
• Serve the potato salad warm, or cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Top with the bacon and more scallions before serving.
