instructions
    1

    Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes.

    2

    In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over high heat.

    3

    Once boiling, reduce to medium heat and simmer for about 10-12 minutes until fork-tender.

    4

    While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the jalapeños. Remove the stems and seeds, then finely chop them. If you love extra heat, leave some seeds in.

    5

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, black pepper, and chopped jalapeños. Mix well to create a creamy dressing.

    6

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them cool for a few minutes.

    7

    Add the warm potatoes to the dressing mixture and gently fold them together until the potatoes are well-coated.

    8

    Chop the green onion and cilantro and fold them into the salad for added freshness and flavor.

    9

    Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
