Forget the heavy, mayonnaise-laden potato salad of old. Instead there’s lighter Chipotle Lime Potato Salad – roasted little new potatoes coated in a vibrant lime, olive oil & smoky chipotle dressing with a scattering of green onions. Serve this warm or cold – either way, this Mexican-inspired potato salad makes such a brilliant accompaniment to grilled chicken, roasts, burgers or any cookout menu.

Such a gorgeous burnished bronzed color with the flecks of green onion, this potato salad is simple with few ingredients but big on flavor. Little new potatoes make the best potato salads – they’re a little sweet, they hold their shape when cooked & they’re perfect size requiring no peeling & little to no chopping except to halve the larger ones . Serve alongside Slow Cooker Mexican Pot Roast or perfectly roasted chicken.
