Last summer at a family gathering, after a long day of swimming and enjoying the company of family, 5pm rolled around and it was time to decide what we would be feeding everyone! My sister offered to make some warm potato salad and needless to say my husband and I were obsessed! I knew I had to create my own version of it at home, and it has very quickly become one of our most eaten potato dishes!
I’ve made this dish many, many times trying to perfect it and they were all good… but it was missing something, then one night I was looking in the fridge and staring back at me was a big jar of pickled banana peppers and I knew that it was the missing ingredient I needed to take this warm potato salad to the next level! It added a tanginess and just a kick of spice that it was missing. We love this warm potato salad so much that sometimes I’ll even make this recipe as an easy dinner and top it with some crumbled ground beef to make it a balanced meal that I can have on the table with minimal effort.
Ingredients:
- Potatoes – I love yellow potatoes for this recipe because they are moist but get nice and crispy on the outside
- Red onion
- Green onion
- Pickled banana peppers
- Corn
- Fresh parmesan – please don’t use the fake stuff
- Mayonnaise – Chosen foods is by far the healthiest option out there
- Lemon juice
- Garlic
How to make:
When making side dishes for barbecues they should be easy with minimal mess because who wants to spend tons of time slaving in the kitchen when you could be out enjoying the sun! That’s why is love this dish, everything goes in one bowl!
The first thing you want to do is preheat your oven the 375 degrees Fahrenheit
Start off by pealing and cubing your potatoes, toss them in avocado oil, and season with salt and pepper, place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until crispy and golden, about 30 – 45 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely dice the red onion, chives, cilantro and pickled banana peppers and add them to a large bowl. Finely grate your garlic and parmesan and also add those to the bowl. If you are using frozen corn, warm it up first on the stove before adding it to the bowl, if using canned just toss it in. This only takes about five minutes, but I like to do it right away, and just leave it on the counter while the potatoes are cooking.
Once the potatoes are finished cooking, add them into the bowl with the rest of the ingredients you already prepared, followed by the mayonnaise, lemon juice and parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine!
And voila! I hope this recipe turns out to be one of your new favourite BBQ side dishes!
Substitutions:
As far as substitutions you can interchange, leave out and add in really whatever you like, a few substitutions or add ins that I will sometimes do are:
Potatoes – if you don’t have yellow potatoes you can use russets. Russet potatoes are much drier than yellow potatoes, but they get much crispier so if you prefer that then those are a good option.
Pickled banana peppers – Sometimes i will change this out for pickled jalapenos and its also really delicious!
Bacon – If you have some bacon on hand it adds a really nice saltiness to this dish that I like!
