Memorial Day isn’t complete without potato salad. This year is all about the smoky Chipotle Potato Salad. I love Mexican fusion and baby new potatoes are the perfect vessel to soak up all that flavor. Chipotle adds a smoky, yet mild heat to the traditional mayonnaise dressing. Pickled red onions replace the traditional dill pickle, adding a beautiful color and zing. We keep the boiled egg, but slice them very thinly for added texture and finally a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Be the wild card at your Memorial Day party with this Chipotle Potato Salad. It pairs perfectly with my Sweet Corn & Snap Peas and is really good cold as leftovers! Trust me…I sneak into the fridge for little bites!

# About Tamara Hi, I'm Tamara, the creator behind The Salty Owl Co. I believe that some of life's best moments happen around the table—sharing a meal with family, gathering with friends, and savoring the simple pleasures of fresh, thoughtfully prepared food. Through The Salty Owl Co., I share seasonal recipes, coastal-inspired cooking, and stories that celebrate a slower, more intentional way of living.

The owl in The Salty Owl Co. holds special meaning for me. For as long as I can remember, a family of owls has lived on our property. Their familiar evening calls echo through the trees each night, bringing a sense of peace and grounding that reminds me to slow down and appreciate the beauty of home. They have become a symbol of the lifestyle I hope to inspire—one rooted in nature, community, and simple joys.
