TEX-MEX POTATO SALAD

Tex-Mex Potato Salad image

I created this Tex-Mex potato salad for one of my cooking classes, and it was a hit. It's perfect for a cookout or potluck. The secret ingredient is pickled jalapenos-they add so much interest and flavor! Add a can of black beans for more protein. -Dianna Ackerley, Cibolo, Texas
