jalapeno popper potato salad

I’ve been experimenting with the idea of ​​combining the spicy flavor of jalapeño poppers with the creamy goodness of potato salad for some time, and I’m happy to say that this recipe was a hit.

Traditional jalapeño poppers are made with cream cheese, but we didn’t really like the cream cheese flavor in the first recipe we tried for this potato salad.

So I added cheddar cheese instead of cream cheese. Potato salad gets high marks from everyone.

For extra spiciness, add generous amounts of sliced ​​jalapenos in addition to finely chopped jalapenos in the dressing. I usually add a couple of tablespoons of sliced ​​jalapenos to my salad.

Keep in mind that this salad will get hotter if you let it sit overnight in the refrigerator. My taste buds were amazed when I tasted the salad again after storing it overnight. And thanks to that extra heat, this has officially become my oldest son’s favorite potato salad.
