Jalapeno Popper Potato Salad

 

It is summertime and that means I move out of soup mode and into more cooler meals. My husband and I love jalapeno poppers, and one night I had this idea to create this potato salad. This is actually really good. 

Jalapeno Popper Potato Salad

2 Lbs. Red potatoes 

1 Lb bacon 

16 oz sausage

1 block of cream cheese softened. 

2 C Sour Cream

2 cups of cheddar cheese

5 jalapenos chopped

6 green onions chopped

1/2 red onion chopped

3 T Garlic Powder

2 Tsp Salt

2 Tsp Cracked Pepper

3 T Dill

Dice up your red potatoes and put them in a saucepan to boil. While it is boiling, brown your sausage. When Sausage is done, then you need to cup up bacon into small pieces and brown them till they are crispy. I use the same pan that I did sausage in. Make sure both sausage and bacon are both well drained of grease.  

When the potatoes are soft but not super soft, then drain them. Rinse them with cold water till they cool down. Put in a bowl. In another bowl mix your sour cream and cream cheese till its mixed well. Add in jalapenos, onions, seasonings, bacon sausage. Mix well. Add in the red potatoes and mix it to combine it all. 

I highly recommend making it ahead of time and putting it in the refrigerator it gets better over time. This has quickly become one of our favorites and will be put into rotation.
