Bacon Sriracha Potato Salad

Recipe Description

This Bacon Sriracha Potato Salad is a spicy take on an all-time classic. The kick from the Sriracha will liven up your meals this summer. This is the perfect recipe for your next picnic or barbecue. It tastes amazing with grilled steak.

This salad is simple to make too. Start by cooking potatoes and bacon. Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and add vinegar. Let the potatoes sit until slightly cooled. Make the dressing by combining mayo, sour cream, and sriracha chili sauce in a small bowl. Add the potatoes and mix well. Top with crispy bacon, chopped green onion, and paprika and serve at room temperature. I like to serve this salad with a bottle of Sriracha on the side if anyone feels like adding an extra punch of spice.

To make my version of Bacon Sriracha Potato Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
