Spice Up Easter Brunch: Zesty Chipotle Potato Salad
Easter weekend usually feels like the kick-off to celebrating warmer months. Dishes that would be served at a summer BBQ or picnic also make great sides for a brunch. This is especially true for classic sides like potato salad. I love using chipotle chiles in just about anything. The adobo sauce in the can has fantastic flavor and can be used to spice up any traditional meal. This potato salad will get noticed from the plain-jane varieties at your brunch table.
Zesty Chipotle Potato Salad Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups mayonnaise
