Notes
Corn and/or bacon are excellent additions to this chipotle potato salad. Add 1/2 cup fresh corn to the recipe and/or 3 to 4 pieces of crumbled bacon.
To increase the smokiness, you can add more chipotle (also increasing the spiciness) or a dash of liquid smoke.
Want more heat without the smoke? 1/3 teaspoon crushed red pepper is a good place to start. Adjust up from there.
