This Jalapeño Popper Potato Salad is creamy, cheesy, and loaded with just the right amount of spicy kick! It’s an easy crowd-pleasing side dish that tastes just like your favorite jalapeño poppers mixed with hearty potato salad.

Ingredients

3 pounds red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 (8 oz.) block cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapeno peppers
2 green onions, sliced
1 cup shredded Mexican 4-cheese blend
6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1 fresh jalapeño, thinly sliced
Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook 8–10 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain well.
  2. While the potatoes are still warm, place the cream cheese, mayonnaise and garlic powder in a large bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the warm potatoes, pickled jalapeños, green onions, shredded cheese and bacon. Season with black pepper to taste.
  4. Gently stir until the potatoes are evenly coated and all ingredients are combined.
  5. Salt to taste.
  6. Top with fresh jalapeño slices and extra bacon, if desired.
  7. Cover and chill 1–2 hours before serving for the best flavor.

Notes

  • If the potato salad seems dry after chilling, stir in 1–2 tablespoons milk before serving.
  • For a milder potato salad, remove the seeds from the fresh jalapeño before slicing.
  • Add extra pickled jalapeños for even more spicy flavor.
