I made this recipe exactly as written except I used an orange pepper instead of a red pepper. This potato salad did not go over well with our family. I'm not sure why, ordinarily these are ingredients we eat all the time and it sounded quite tasty. The white wine vinegar won out in flavor and really drowned out the chipotle and the olive oil didn't add anything to the flavor just a not so great texture. Sorry, it seemed to have great potential.

I made this to go with Mexican burgers this evening. I was a bit unsure of the corn but it all came together with a very good southwestern flavor and the corn texture was a nice addition. Great for outdoor BBQ.

When I first reviewed this recipe I gave it 4 stars. After having it for lunch today, I can attest that it is divine! I think it needed extra time to get the flavors to meld or otherwise do their thing. It also has a great presentation. Next time I will very thinly slice the red onion using a mandoline. Since it looks and tastes great and is served at room temperature this would make an excellent potluck dish or a dish for a brunch table. Thanks, TeresaS! Made for Zaar Stars tag game.

I served this with Recipe #369793 and adored it. I used a little chipotle hot sauce on top as well :)

This was exceptional!!! I really like "hot" and this fit the bill. I doubled the recipe. I used the adobo sauce that was with the chipotles in the can, that's what really gave it an extra kick. I ran low on the white wine vinegar so I used some balsamic too. Thanks TeresaS :)
