Poblano Potato Salad

Submitted by Chef Edlear

"This recipe originated in an old Bon Appetit from the late 80's. It has a nice southwestern kick to it. Very easy to make, but of course tastes best when chilled for a couple of hours."

This is good!! It is a very unique potato salad, great for a Mexican cookout!! I love the tart flavor the tomatillos give this salad. I did add 2 tsp sugar to balance that a little bit and I used 1 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper in the dressing. I had fun making this, thanks for posting!
