Description
This Jalapeno Popper Roasted Potato Salad brings together the best of two favorites: creamy, cheesy jalapeno poppers and hearty roasted potatoes. Perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, the potatoes are coated in a luscious blend of cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar, smoky spices, and crispy bacon. Ideal for BBQs, potlucks, or weeknight dinners that need a spicy, savory kick.
