Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

Place the cubed potatoes in a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole dish. (1 minute)

02

Step
10 mins

Microwave on high power, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, approximately 8-10 minutes. (10 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Carefully drain any accumulated liquid from the potatoes. (2 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing, grated carrots, sliced green onions, diced Hatch chile pepper (or red pepper flakes), sea salt, and black pepper. (5 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Gently fold the warm potatoes into the dressing mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. (3 minutes)

06

Step
30 mins

Serve the potato salad immediately while warm, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the Caesar dressing.
If you prefer a tangier potato salad, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar.
To elevate the visual appeal, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives before serving.
Feel free to substitute other types of potatoes, such as red potatoes or fingerling potatoes, based on your preference.
If you don't have Hatch peppers, Anaheim peppers or poblano peppers are a good substitute.
