Wash the new potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger potatoes into halves or quarters to ensure uniform cooking.
In a large pot, add the potatoes and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the chipotle mayonnaise. In a food processor or blender, combine the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and let them cool slightly for 5 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes and sauté them for 3-5 minutes until they develop a light, golden crust. Season with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt to taste.
Transfer the sautéed potatoes to a serving dish. Drizzle the chipotle mayonnaise over the potatoes or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
