THE BEST SWEET POTATO POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the cornichons or relish, mustard, honey, celery, lemon zest and juice and red onion. Season with salt and pepper and let sit while the potatoes cook.

• Drain the potatoes in a colander, put back in the saucepan, add the vinegar and, using a rubber spatula, toss gently to combine.

HOT SWEET HABANERO CHILE SAUCE

Pour chile sauce into a sterilized glass container with a tight seal; refrigerate overnight.

JERK POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Jerk rub
• Using a fork, mix lime zest and juice, chiles, ginger, chopped garlic, scallions, chopped thyme, oil, brown sugar, allspice, salt, dried thyme, black pepper, granulated garlic, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cayenne, and cumin in a medium bowl to combine (adding the chiles to the lime juice and zest at the beginning is important: it allows the juice to slightly blunt some of the sting of the chile).
• Do ahead: Rub can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.
• Potatoes and assembly
• Combine Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes in a large pot, pour in water to cover, and season with salt if desired. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until fork-tender, about 40 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl (potatoes will be crushed at this point, especially the sweet potato, and that's okay).
• Meanwhile, mix mayonnaise and 2 Tbsp. jerk rub in a small bowl to combine (you will have leftover rub, see headnote for other uses). Set dressing aside.
• Add red onion, scallions, 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ½ tsp. black pepper to potatoes and toss to combine. Add dressing and fold into potatoes with a rubber spatula until well coated. Serve potato salad warm, room temperature, or chilled.
• Do ahead: Potato salad can be made 2 days ahead (it will get more spicy). Cover and chill.

RED HOT & BLUE POTATO SALAD - THE ORIGINAL

Steps:

• Steam the potatoes skin-on for approximately 45 minutes (you can boil them, but they tend to be slightly mushier in the end result). Set aside until cool enough to handle. Boil your eggs, then do the same. When cool enough, peel the eggs ONLY (do NOT peel the potatoes -- the skin gives it part of it's unique texture and taste).
• In a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients together until thoroughly mixed. Chop the potatoes and eggs into bite-size pieces and add to bowl. Mix GENTLY -- you want salad, not mush -- until blended.
• Serve at room temp for up to 2 hours after making -- refridgerate leftovers. It tastes best when room temp, but is delicious cold too -- so if you are making this in advance, it's fine to chill it.
• NOTE - If you are on a low-sodium diet, you can easily reduce or eliminate the salt the recipe calls for. Just let people salt it at table to taste!
• ***Wanted to say THANKS to all the reviews! Here's another hint to make this easier: when you are going to make boiled eggs, ALWAYS make sure you buy the eggs at LEAST 7-10 days in advance. Why? Because as an egg matures, it develops a small air "bubble" inside it (it's the membrane separating from the shell). Having this bubble makes it a BREEZE to peel the eggs once they've cooled completely (also a great trick for Easter Eggs, BTW). You want your eggs to be around 10-12 days old, and it takes, on average, 2-3 days to get them from the laying facility to the store.
