Enjoy two great sides dishes in one: jalapeno poppers and potato salad aka Jalapeno Popper Potato Salad. Who’s the side dish now??
You know I love a good mashup. There is just too much good food in the world to have time to try it all, so why not combine them? My latest creation is the combination of potato salad and jalapeno poppers for the perfect BBQ side dish.
Not into all the heat? You can obviously reduce the amount of jalapeno you add. Or maybe you think that 3 is not enough, be my guest and add more. I certainly am heavy handed on any recipe that calls for garlic so I understand that some things are to taste. But if you enjoy jalapeno poppers, I am certain this potato salad (or the pasta salad version) is for you. Or maybe you need a finger food for your event, in which case you should try Jalapeno Cream Cheese Pinwheels.
Today should have been the actual day we boarded our flights to Memphis for BBQ Fest. I know we all have cancelled plans or, more likely, actual life problems as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, so I’m not looking for sympathy but it was very serendipitous that this #BBQweek event is happening this week and I am grateful for it.
Now all I need is drinko (think plinko but with drinks at the bottom), some old school rap (Biz Markie was performed one year), and a BBQ cheese plate and I’m good to go. Looking for other ideas for your backyard BBQ? Scroll through the list below.

Really tasty!! Only thing I did different was to sub pickled jalapeño juice for the olive oil because we are used to vinegar in our potato salad dressings. I have no doubt it would be equally delicious as written! Definitely a keeper.
Oh I bet it was good with the juice too! Great idea.
Jalapenos IN the potato salad? That sounds DELISH! And so much fun for a barbecue.
Heck yea, they were made to be together
This looks so full of amazing flavors!!
Erin, you’ve outdone yourself with this “mashup”. I thought it sounded good when I read the title, and it sounded even better when I read the ingredients. Even though I want to stay away from carbs as much as possible, I don’t know how I can get away with not making this at some point. The loss of your trip :-( is our gain with this post :-D. Thank you, and I hope you still have a great, SAFE, weekend.
You could maybe try with roasted cauliflower to reduce carbs? I hope you try it either way! Thanks and you too!
I love this mash up. So sorry you are missing your Memphis trip. Stay safe.
I’ll be going at the end of September for the reschedule! Assuming large crowds are safe by then.
