Complexity:   
Medium

Total Time:
2 hours

Ingredients:
3 lb. red potatoes, quartered
6 bacon slices, chopped
3 celery stalks, diced
2 jalapenos, minced
6 green onions, chopped
1 t. ground cumin
1 T brown sugar
1/2 c. cider vinegar
1/2 c. chicken or vegetable stock
pinch of cayenne pepper
1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:
Steam potatoes until just tender. Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp. Reserve 2 T. drippings from skillet. Add celery to skilleg and saute until softened. Add jalapeno green onions, cumin and sugar. Stir for 1 minute. Add vinegar, broth and cayenne pepper. Bring just to boil, then remove from heat.

Combine warm potatoes and bacon in large bowl. Add hot dressing and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add cilantro and toss again. Serve warm.

Cook's Notes:
A fabulous "different" take on potato salad. I have made the dressing ahead of time, then just rewarmed in the microwave. It's better fresh, but will work if you need to make it early. Also, this is very good at room temp if you're serving a crowd.
