This Hatch Green Chile Potato Salad is a New Mexico twist on a backyard staple, loaded with smoky Roasted Hatch Green Chile, a little jalapeño heat, and a tangy, zesty dressing with a squeeze of lime. It's the side dish that always gets asked about at the cookout — and the recipe you'll be happy to share.
Every family has their go-to potato salad recipe, the one that shows up at every summer cookout, every holiday potluck, and every gathering where good food is expected. This is ours — and we think once you try it with Roasted Hatch Green Chile, you'll have a hard time going back to the plain version.
There's something about the smoky, roasted flavor of Hatch Green Chile that makes it a natural fit for a creamy potato salad. It adds depth without overpowering, and paired with a little jalapeño, a bright squeeze of lime, and a touch of Hatch New Mexico Green Chile Powder, every bite has just the right amount of New Mexico character.
This recipe is simple, flexible, and endlessly crowd-pleasing. Use red-skinned or gold potatoes — both work beautifully — and feel free to dial the heat up or down to suit your crowd. A little fresh cilantro on top before serving makes it look as good as it tastes. Bring a big bowl, because this one goes fast.
