chives for garnish
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup lime juice

2 large baking potatoes (with or without skin)
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 eggs, hardboiled and chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 teaspoons salt

  • Cool the potatoes before assembling the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes this salad special, so don't skimp on the ingredients.
  • Add some mix-ins: Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as bacon, cheese, or diced vegetables.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served cold, so chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

This spicy chipotle potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's packed with flavor, thanks to the chipotle peppers, cumin, and cilantro.
