BBQ and grilling season are here, let the side dishes commence.  To be quite honest, I get most excited about all the sides are parties.  I love a good coleslaw with my ribs, potato salad with my burger and chips with my hot dog.

This weekend was rather quite lazy and it was just what I needed.  We lazily hung around outside soaking up the sun, listening to the kids play in the water and the husband grilled some good grub while I whipped up one delicious Mexican Potato salad using Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Sauce.

On Sunday, for Mother’s Day my husband smoked a pork, per my request.  I absolutely love smoked meat so I longingly kept checking the smoker to see if it had reached temperature yet.

While the pork was smoking away I got busy on a side dish.  What could I make that is unique and not your usual BBQ side dish.  I looked around the kitchen to see what I had that I could throw together and there it was Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce and a bag of little potato.  Bingo!  Mexican Potato Salad was born and I’m never looking back.

We are huge fans of Frank’s RedHot sauce anyhow, but last week when I was shopping I noticed they had a buffalo wings sauce.  We love wings so I figured we’d try and cook up some wings and use the sauce. Well little did I know it would be an awesome sauce to kick up my potato salad too.  Fun fact.  Did you know, Frank’s RedHot was used as one of the ingredients in the first Buffalo Chicken Wing in 1964, meaning, if it ain’t Frank’s RedHot it ain’t buffalo!  We couldn’t agree more.

I started with items that are pantry staples.  A can of black beans and a can of corn.  We also always have red onions, cherry tomatoes and cilantro on hand for when we want to make a quick pico de gallo.

For the Mexican potato salad, we started by quartering the little potatoes. I chose baby boomers because they’re creamier.  I threw them into a bowl with some oil and cumin and then place them onto a large cookie sheet and placed them into the oven.  Now if my husband had been using the grill, I would have thrown them into a grill basket and grilled them alongside the meat.  Why heat the oven in the summertime, when you can use the grill.

When the potatoes were done cooking, it was a matter of throwing some additional ingredients into a bowl and allowing to chill until ready to eat.  Although, if you served this potato salad warm, it would be just as good.

Into the bottom of the bowl went some mayonnaise, Frank’s Redhot Buffalo Wing Sauce, lime juice, salt, pepper.  Next went in the potatoes, corn, black beans, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro and jalapeno (which is totally optional as you already have some heat from the sauce.)  Mix all together, top with additional cilantro and crunched up corn chips and you’re ready to serve.

Not only was this Mexican Potato salad absolutely amazing, the Frank’s RedHot buffalo sauce is a new favorite.  I Put That $#!+ On Everything! Just because it says “wing sauce” doesn’t mean it’s only good for wings.  It’s got the perfect combination of flavor and heat all in one bottle so use it all.the.time.

Mexican Potato Salad will be your new go to potluck dish for every party this summer!
