Ingredients
  

  • 5 Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes peeled and diced
  • Salt water to taste
  • ¾ cup to 1 cup mayonnaise I used 1 cup
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
  • ½ medium yellow onion peeled and finely diced
  • ½ green pepper seeded and finely diced
  • Scotch bonnet pepper to taste
  • 1 hard-boiled egg for garnish
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  • Place the diced potatoes in a pot and cover them with salted water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook them.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and fresh lime juice. Stir well to combine.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and allow them to cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled potatoes, diced onion, and diced green pepper.
  • If you desire some heat, finely chop the Scotch bonnet pepper and add it to the bowl. Adjust the amount according to your preference for spiciness.
  • Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
  • Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish.
  • To garnish, slice the hard-boiled egg and arrange the slices on top of the salad. Sprinkle some paprika over the salad for color and flavor.
  • Chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve cold as a delicious side dish at your next gathering or as a refreshing addition to any meal.
