An easy and delicious spicy potato salad loaded with eggs, crispy bacon, Yukon gold potatoes, and jalapenos. The ultimate summer side dish that will feed and satisfy a large crowd.
This potato salad is super creamy, rich, and just all-around terrific. Probably one of the easiest potato salads I’ve ever made. Enjoy this with
oven-baked bbq chicken and chipotle baked beans.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Potatoes – I used Yukon gold potatoes but feel free to use any kind you have on hand.
- Eggs
- Scallions – Chives, red onions, or shallots work just as good.
- Mayo
- Softened Cream Cheese
- Granulated Garlic
- Crispy Bacon
- Jalapenos – I highly recommend using pickled jalapenos but fresh jalapenos work as well. Make sure to chop them up before adding it to the salad.
- Salt and Pepper
How to Make Spicy Potato Salad
Rinse and peel the potatoes, cover them with salted water, and cook until fork-tender. Let the potatoes come to room temperature and dice them into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and then fold in the potatoes. Season generously with salt and pepper and enjoy!
What Potatoes Should I Use?
Any potatoes you have on hand will work for this recipe, just make sure you salt the water you cook the potatoes in and season the potato salad generously. Potatoes require a lot of salt.
If you give this creamy spicy potato salad a try, you’ll be hooked, I promise!
