    Awesome tater salad!! Followed instructions to a tee and used about 2 of the chipotle chilies (I'll maybe go for 3 next time). Loved how all the flavors blended so well together and of course bacon makes everything taste better. I thought the addition of the black beans was a novel and very appropriate addition. Thanks Rita!!

    The BEST potato salad. I left out the raw veggies (to make it truly a "man's"--haha), subbed dried cilantro for fresh, and also left out the beans. What I was left with was totally yummy. The best bites were the ones with chipotles (I used the full amount) and bacon, so I may add a bit more of each next time. I had trouble stopping taking bites as I put this away...I didn't even eat my main course at dinner, just 2 heaping helpings of this!! Definitely worth the trips to 2 different groceries to find chipotles in adobo! YUMMY! Update the next morning: I had 2-3 heaping servings leftover and I'm ashamed to say I ate them all for breakfast this morning. Still good.

    This went over wonderful at a family cookout. I spread out the heat from the peppers by putting them in the blender with the mayo, and half of the celery and scallions. It also gave the mayo nice color. In addition, I splashed my personal helping with a little texas pete.

    VERY nice!! I had been tired of the usual potato salad for a long time, and I figured, "hey, why not give this Man's Potato Salad a try", well, WOWIE! I am having this for lunch as I type this, and, I cannot tell you how much you should give this one a try. I added the celery, and kept the chipotle seeds out of it, and it was fantastic! Highly recommended!!
