Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot filled with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place onion slices in a small bowl and add two tablespoons of brine liquid from the jalapeño jar. Stir occasionally to ensure all onion slices are evenly marinated in the brine.
- Place jalapeño pepper slices in a food processor along with an extra tablespoon of the jalapeño liquid. Add the cilantro, feta cheese, and olive oil. Pulse until a coarse paste forms. Then season with freshly ground pepper to taste.
- After cooking, drain potatoes and allow them to cool in a large bowl until lukewarm. Drain the red onion, then add the cucumber, onion, and sweetcorn to the bowl with the cooled potatoes. Pour in the feta dressing and thoroughly mix until potatoes are evenly coated.
