Daring Cooks-Potato Salad-Challenge #5

Jami Sorrento was our June Daring Cooks hostess and she chose to challenge us to celebrate the humble spud by making a delicious and healthy potato salad. The Daring Cooks Potato Salad Challenge was sponsored by the nice people at the United States Potato Board, who awarded prizes to the top 3 most creative and healthy potato salads. A medium-size (5.3 ounce) potato has 110 calories, no fat, no cholesterol, no sodium and includes nearly half your daily value of vitamin C and has more potassium than a banana!

I'm not a huge fan of potato salad.  If it is around I'll have a little but won't be disappointed if it is not on the table.  When I saw this table, I immediately thought of Sriracha Potato Salad.  I used a marinade recipe from a good friend has the base for the recipe.  The batch I made was way spicy so I had to adjust the amount of Sriracha back so normal people could eat it and live.  Below is a pic of it and the recipe!  Enjoy!
