Tex-Mex Potato Salad image

I created this Tex-Mex potato salad for one of my cooking classes, and it was a hit. It's perfect for a cookout or potluck. The secret ingredient is pickled jalapenos-they add so much interest and flavor! Add a can of black beans for more protein. -Dianna Ackerley, Cibolo, Texas

I was disappointed with this recipe. The potatoes were overcooked and the dressing was too tangy.

This recipe was too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less chili powder.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out bland and watery. I think I might have added too much dressing.
