ooooo! thanks for a new twist on tater salad! goes great with steaks and cant wait to try it with smoked meats too! eeeee!! omitted bell peppers, swapped 2T shallots for scallions, used 2 stalks celery, 1T dried cilantro, added a bit more mayo, 4 chipotle peppers with some of the sauce and onions in the can, omitted bacon, 1t celery salt, 1T regular mustard, and used russets instead of reds and kept every thing else the same. LOVED IT! thanks Rita! the boyfriend didn't even hafta add anything (with everything else he ALWAYS adds SOMETHING!) so i take that as a huge compliment! oh my mouth is watering!

EXCELLENT. I made this with what I had on hand. Red onion, red pepper, lots of celery and fresh parsley chipotle peppers. Skipped the bacon, only had one egg and used idaho potatoes. Didn't have black beans. You probably are wondering how the heck the salad was? Just awesome. Thanks so much for this. Next time will try to make it more like the recipe calls for, but in a pinch you have to use what you have on hand. TRY THIS. IT ROCKS. Thanks!

I followed this almost exactly. I used green chilis but twice as many because they are not as hot. It was only ok.
