Bruce and I threw a backyard barbecue with family and friends on Saturday afternoon. While playing ladder golf, darts, laughing, joking and most likely making our neighbors seriously annoyed, I spent a bit of time tending to the barbecue. I barbecued my apricot pork ribs while others pitched in with sides of fresh picked white corn, baked beans, watermelon, cherries, green salad, and cornbread. In addition to the apricot pork ribs, I made a batch of my Bacon Chipotle Potato Salad. My Bacon Chipotle Potato Salad is a tasty twist on the classic American potato salad. My Bacon Chipotle Potato Salad has a wonderful smokey bacon flavor and then kicked up in flavor with fiery chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. It’s not your average potato salad. It’s just simply delicious! Enjoy! Tessa
Ingredients:
- 5 pounds potatoes (boiled, cooled, peeled and coarsely chopped)
- 8 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup minced sweet onion
- 6 Tbs apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbs chipotle pepper in adobo (minced)
- 1 Tbs Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp smoked salt or to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper or to taste
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- garnish with fresh snipped chives and pinches of paprika
Add potatoes, bacon, celery and onions to an extra large mixing bowl. Lightly toss. In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, Dijon mustard, smoked salt, black pepper and smoked paprika. If you have any bacon grease leftover from the bacon, add about a tablespoon of it to the potatoes. Trust me… It adds a ton of flavor! Add the mayo mixture to potatoes. Lightly mix. Garnish with fresh snipped chives and pinches of paprika. Makes a big bowl or about 12-15 servings. Enjoy!

This sounds incredible! Chipotles in adobo are one of my favorite ingredients to add to anything- I never thought about potato salad! Brilliant.
