Sweet Savory and Spicy Potato Salad

LizP's Note:

My friend Tricia made this for a cookout and I fell in love! It is the only potato salad I will make from now on. My husband never eats potato sald. He says "If there is meat around, why waste the time on side dishes?" He ate two HUGE servings of this......it is THAT good! If you cannot find candied jalapenos, just use one small fresh jalapeno (seeded and minced) and a tablespoon of sugar....it is just as good. We love curry, so we add more curry powder. Taste it and customize it to your taste! The long prep time is the passive time needed to chill the potatoes.

3. Peel the sweet potatoes and Yukon Golds, and dice into 1/2 inch cubes.
4. Cut red potatoes into fourths. Place all potatoes into a large bowl.
