ingredients

5 medium potatoes, peeled & diced into 1/2 cubes
1 small onion, chopped
425.24 g can sweet corn, drained
177.44 ml mayonnaise (e.g. Miracle Whip) or 177.44 ml salad dressing (e.g. Miracle Whip)
29.58 ml tabasco brand smoked chipotle hot sauce
14.79 ml bacon bits
2.46 ml caraway seed (optional)
4.92 ml celery seed
29.58 ml dried chives or 29.58 ml fresh chives
7.39 ml salt
1.23 ml black pepper
1.23 ml liquid smoke

directions

Boil diced potatoes until just done – do not overcook. Drain, and soak in cold water (to stop cooking process), drain again once cooled.
Whisk Tabasco® sauce into mayonnaise until well blended. More or less Chipotle can be added to taste. Take care however; mixture will get hotter as flavors mature.
Combine potatoes, sweet corn, and onions into a mixing bowl – gently fold mayonnaise mixture in taking care not to mash potatoes. Add remaining ingredients and fold until well mixed.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving – longer is better.
Recipe variations: Deep fry or oven fry potatoes instead of boiling. Add ¾ cup of diced sweet or dill pickles.

Great unique potato salad. I did not taste much spiceyness at all. Even the non-hot eaters in the family enjoyed it. Loved the flavor the caraway seeds gave it. If I were to change anything, it would be add more liquid smoke next time.

I love to cook! My mother taught Boy's Foods at our local high school when I was growing up, and thus my brother, my father and I all spend a lot of time in the kitchen creating. Fortunately when I experiment in the kitchen I have a lot more hits than misses (at least according to my wife). I am the father of 2 grown kids (college) and a step-kid (about the same age) and very happily married! I worked as an agriculture researcher (hence the public name) for 20 years. I now work for the Knights of Columbus. To relax I like to draw and play guitar, and of course, cook. Sometimes I think the artist in me comes out in the kitchen in how I create some new dishes. My only downfall is that I don't document what I am doing very well. So sometimes I have a great dish; but may have a hard time re-creating it. I was taught to be a good cook one must taste what they are cooking. A recipe is a guideline for the dish, but don't be afraid to color outside the lines. I have often pondered getting formal training in the culinary arts - but in the mean time we (my wife and I) watch a lot of the Food Network. Recipezaar has be a great resource too. Please feel free to rate my posted recipes! You suggestions would be greatly appreciated
