A hose under the sink broke and started flooding the kitchen when I was in the middle of making this. :( That's my excuse for totally forgetting to add the black beans. Didn't seem to matter, though, since everybody agreed it was sensational. I used 3 chipotles, seeds and all, and the heat level was actually pretty mild. Thanks for a really top-notch recipe, Rita! Update: Six years and a whole lot of bowls of potato salad later, I don't think I've ever served this to anyone who didn't rave. So many people told me at a cookout last weekend that it was THE BEST they'd ever tasted that I just had to thank you again for sharing this wonderful dish.

This is the best potato salad I have ever eaten!

Made a 1/2 recipe - used fire-roasted jarred red peppers, a fresh sweet diced Vidalia onion, 3 stalks diced celery, 3/4 cup diced boneless smoked ham hock (look for it at Foodlion supermarkets by the ham - comes in 1-2 lb vacuum-sealed packages - it's GOOD!) & 3 deseeded chipotles in adobo sauce (that I blended in the mayo). I did leave out the sugar - never missed it. Man, this is a great recipe! It goes into the keeper file! Thanks Rita!

Looking for something different in place of the same old potato salad you won't be disappointed with recipe! Everyone loved it especially my granddaughter! Thank you for sharing.

I can't believe I never rated this! I made this several years ago and thought it was delish! I did omit the black beans. But I need to make this again soon, and I will add them in this time. I love trying all different kinds of potato salads. This one is definitely unique! It is on the top of our favorite potato salads! Thanks for the great recipe!
