Servings: 9
Equipment
- Electric Mixer or Whisk
Ingredients
- 2 Pounds red potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon ancho chili powder
- 12 eggs hard boiled
- 1 Cup mayonnaise
- ½ Cup brown mustard
- 1 Teaspoon garlic paste
- 1 Teaspoon hot sauce
- ½ Cup slaw dressing
- ½ Teaspoon salt
- 1 Teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 Cup celery chopped
- 1 red onion diced
- ¼ Cup bacon cooked and chopped
- 2 jalapenos seeded, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon chives chopped, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat smoker 180 degrees F for 15 minutes.
- Toss potatoes with olive oil, ancho chili powder. Place on a wire rack lined baking sheet. Smoke for 3 hours. Add the hard boiled eggs and smoke for 1 additional hour.
- Roughly peel the potatoes. I prefer to leave a little bit of the skin on for flavour.
- Dice potatoes into bite sized pieces, about ½”to 1” each and add to a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate, smaller mixing bowl combine mayonnaise, brown mustard, garlic paste, slaw dressing, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Slice eggs in half and add the yolk to the bowl. Whisk until smooth, or use a hand mixer and beat on low speed until smooth.
- Chop eggs, celery, red onion, chopped bacon, jalapeno and add to potatoes and add dressing. Stir to combine all. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before servings. Preferably overnight to allow flavors to meld. Garnish with chopped chives.
Notes
Don't skip the chill: After you've prepared the salad, make sure to refrigerate it for at least 3 hours before serving. Ideally, let it sit overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes for a tastier dish.
Make it your own: Feel free to experiment with the recipe. You can add different ingredients like dill pickles or dill pickle relish or adjust the amount of chili powder and hot sauce to suit your preference.
Make plenty: You don't want to run out of potato salad before everyone's had their fill, so make a big batch. Don't worry, it'll vanish quick!
