I spent all day Friday making chicken and Southwest Potato Salad for the Saturday meal at The Pantry at Rock Creek, and there was a fair amount left over so I dressed it up for dinner Saturday night at home.

OK, I've been posting recipes several times a week for almost six months, and I can honestly say that of all the things I have showed you how to make so far, this one is the most likely to appear on the menu when Carrie and I open a restaurant. I found the idea while looking through the custom recipe feed I have setup on Flipboard the other day, and kicked it up a couple notches to a main dish with the simple addition of some browned Chorizo sausage and Cojito cheese. The family and I love potato salad, but I get tired of the heaviness of all that mayo. Add the sweet deliciousness that comes from a roasted yam and you can not imagine how good this tastes and smells.
You can find the original recipe here. My only changes were to add the chorizo at the end, and to use Cojito instead of Feta. An amazing slice of fatboyheaven!
OK, had another bowl of this that had speant the night in fridge. It was great cold. The flavors seemed to mix together more, and some of the spicy heat that it had warm was gone. This will stay in the permanent menu for sure.
