This is delicious but quite spicy-hot. If you can't handle heat, I suggest cutting back on the Cayenne and Chipotle. I added chopped celery, carrots, radishes and used white onion instead of red. I wanted it to have my usual potato salad veggies and it turned out great! We love spicy-hot foods so it was perfect!

Like any great recipe, remembering the flavor, enhanced the experience. The first taste has the Bobby Flay pow, and is not overwhelming. Just flavorful I also used a canned chipole in sauce, threw it in with the mayo, garlic, and other ingredients of the sauce and used the immersion blender to mix it all together before adding it to the taters. I am positive it will be even better the second day. Other than the chipole, I didn't change a thing and it was really good. I'm packing it on my next neighborhood picnic knowing there will be plenty of requests for the recipe. Thanks Bobby..I'll give you all the credit too!

This is a typically brash and "in your face" Flay dish. Like a great song that you can't get out of your mind, the taste of the salad stays in your memory (or taste buds for a long time.

1 Buying a can of chipotle in adobo is easier than soaking dried chipotles in water and adding garlic, lime juice, etc. for the puree. I found acceptable heat from the amount in the recipe. If you want less, scrape out the seeds.

2 The amount of red onion is NOT overpowering as others have suggested. Simply cut it very thin and you will not get too much in any bite.

3 The recipe will easily dress 5 lbs of potatoes, maybe 6.

4 I took a 1/2 cup of mayo, put in in a mini-blender, and whizzed in the chipotle and garlic before adding it to the other ingredients just because I'm lazy. I don't think that negatively changed the taste.

Outstanding! In Jamaica we LOVE spicy, highly seasoned food and this potato salad just did a happy dance on my tongue : The flavours just burst in my mouth! and the cayenne gives it just the right amount of kick! Made it today and it's already being requested again for sunday dinner! As a matter of fact, I think this dish just inspired a sunday BBQ!

Very good as written if you like spicy potato salad! It's surprisingly different, and delicious. A welcome change to more traditional potato salad recipes. I too, used the chipotle in adobo, cut back a little on the amount, and it was still very spicy. My uncle called it the potato salad from hell. He doesn't like spicy, but I do. I also used plain yogurt in place of the mayo to cut back on the calories, and it works very well without sacrificing any of the flavor. I've also used half mayo, half yogurt, and loved that combo too. Amazing salad recipe for adventurous foodies! :
