How to Make Amanda's Delicious Cilantro Potato Salad

  1. Boil 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot of salted water (2 tsp salt) until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely.
  3. Cut the cooled potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapeños (or other chilies), 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gently fold in the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Just before serving, stir in 4 ounces cooked and crumbled bacon. Garnish with extra fresh cilantro.
