Recipe Description

Give your potato salad up a notch with the Best Jalapeño Popper Potato Salad recipe! Creamy, a little spicy, and so delicious! Packed with crispy bacon, buttery Yukon Gold potatoes, Cheddar cheese, and fresh jalapeños, this is always a crowd-pleaser. The creamy dressing includes mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, fresh chives, and kosher salt. A delicious take on the traditional summer salad that is simply the best.

Start by making the dressing. Combine the dressing ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Next, combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine. Top with more chives before serving. I also like to scatter some fresh jalapeño slices over the top of the salad. Enjoy!
