Notes
Commentary:
I took this potato salad to a get-together in Leadville where it turned out to be a great complement to the buffet. It's full of flavor with just a bit of heat, and easy to make. I think of this as a classic potato salad with an interesting twist. I also find I like to perhaps add a bit more chiles and mustard if I'm serving it to people who like spicier dishes.
This version is pretty simple and versatile - hope you like it!
