JERK POTATO SALAD



Jerk Potato Salad image

A simple potato salad-one that uses both Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes-is given a fresh burst of unexpected flavor from the assertiveness of authentic Jamaican jerk rub. The unapologetically spicy rub is used as a base for a creamy dressing, where some of the heat is dulled by the rich mayonnaise, but complex flavor still shines through . Fruity citrus and habanero chiles bring brightness, while dried and fresh thyme and allspice ensure that the potato salad has plenty of lasting smoky depth. Including brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg echoes the natural sweetness found in the sweet potatoes. All the ingredients seamlessly cohere to create a flavor-packed and nuanced Caribbean-inspired spin on one of summer's most beloved dishes.

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

Jerk Rub
Zest and juice of 2 limes
2 habanero chiles (with seeds), finely chopped
1 2"-piece ginger, scrubbed, finely grated
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
⅓ cup chopped scallions
2 Tbsp. finely chopped thyme
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 Tbsp. dark or light brown sugar
4 tsp. ground allspice
1 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt
2 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp. granulated garlic
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
½ tsp. ground cumin
Potatoes and assembly
5 large Yukon Gold potatoes (about 2 lb. total), scrubbed, cut into 1" pieces
1 large sweet potato (about 12 oz.), peeled, cut into 1" pieces
1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt; plus more (optional)
¾ cup mayonnaise
¼ large red onion, finely chopped
2 scallions, chopped
½ tsp. coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Jerk rub
  • Using a fork, mix lime zest and juice, chiles, ginger, chopped garlic, scallions, chopped thyme, oil, brown sugar, allspice, salt, dried thyme, black pepper, granulated garlic, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cayenne, and cumin in a medium bowl to combine (adding the chiles to the lime juice and zest at the beginning is important: it allows the juice to slightly blunt some of the sting of the chile).
  • Do ahead: Rub can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.
  • Potatoes and assembly
  • Combine Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes in a large pot, pour in water to cover, and season with salt if desired. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until fork-tender, about 40 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl (potatoes will be crushed at this point, especially the sweet potato, and that's okay).
  • Meanwhile, mix mayonnaise and 2 Tbsp. jerk rub in a small bowl to combine (you will have leftover rub, see headnote for other uses). Set dressing aside.
  • Add red onion, scallions, 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ½ tsp. black pepper to potatoes and toss to combine. Add dressing and fold into potatoes with a rubber spatula until well coated. Serve potato salad warm, room temperature, or chilled.
  • Do ahead: Potato salad can be made 2 days ahead (it will get more spicy). Cover and chill.

BUCKWHEAT, CHICKPEA & SWEET POTATO JAMAICAN JERK WRAP (OR SALAD) RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Buckwheat, Chickpea & Sweet Potato Jamaican Jerk Wrap (or Salad) Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Mom_s

Number Of Ingredients 9

Sprouted grain tortillas (or collard greens raw or steamed or gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe GF)
Mixed greens
Fresh lentil sprouts (optional)
1-2 tbsp clean gluten-free jerk seasoning from a jar (not a dry rub)*
Creamy Dairy-Free, Soy-Free Ranch Dressing (homemade is best)
2 cups cooked chickpeas (try your best to soak them overnight and prepare them yourself instead of eating the aluminum-soaked ones)
1 1/2 cups cooked buckwheat
2 cups sweet potato, diced and steamed
3-4 large kale leaves, chopped and steamed for 2 minutes, until they wilt.

Steps:

  • Prepare sprouted buckwheat and chickpeas for this recipe and then cook them. Place together in a large glass bowl when done. Diced sweet potato and steam for 15-20 minutes until soft, a fork should go in easily, but not so much that they are mushy. Once cooked, toss in the bowl with your buckwheat and chickpeas. Add the chopped kale to the steamer for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add your steamed kale. Stir well. Now, stir in the jerk seasoning. Start with less and slowly add more as you go, and remember that the ranch dressing is very cooling when paired with the spice. Lightly steam a sprouted grain tortilla for about 2-5 minutes and lay flat on a large plate. Spoon in some of your jerk veggies and legumes. Add some lentil sprouts and mixed greens. Top with Creamy Dairy-Free, Soy-Free Ranch Dressing and wrap it up!
