The love of potatoes was something instilled in me by my grandmother and my mother as a child. In my house, during winter and summer, the potatoes were the star, we almost never had noodles or rice. Chile and Peru are famous for their potatoes, a vegetable indigenous from the Andes region. We enjoyed different varieties throughout the year, and with new potatoes came the stapled salads in the summer, they have always been my favorites.
Now that new potatoes are in season, new salads come to mind, especially if it is easy and with a spicy different flavor. For this recipe, I used BUSH'S® Sweet Heat Beans. Cooked in a sauce with onions, serrano peppers, and sugar, the beans are spicy and sweet, delicious and super tasty.
This salad is perfect to bring to BBQs with friends and for sharing in general. I served it at home for dinner with grilled chicken. We love it.
