Buffalo potato salad is the new twist on the classic picnic side dish. It’s light but creamy and packs some serious flavor so it’s ready to steal the show at any barbecue!

For us no picnic lunch or barbecue dinner is complete without potato salad.

It’s a staple.

We’re not even real picky on the kind as long as it has the same style base.

Potatoes, something creamy like mayo, and a heaping helping of vibrant flavors.

While many of our favs are more traditional like Dill Pickle Potato Salad, this buffalo potato salad is a take on traditional with a kick.

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Potatoes– Red or russet potatoes, washed, peeled, and cut into half inch cubes
Mayonnaise– Light mayo
Sour Cream– Make sure it’s regular sour cream and not the light version
Buffalo wing sauce– We use mild wing sauce but you can use any you’d like- spicier if you’d like some more heat.
Salt and pepper– To taste
Diced veggies– Red onion and diced celery. The celery is optional.
Hard boiled eggs– Peeled and diced

How to Make

Buffalo potato salad is pretty easy to make.

Put the peeled and cut potatoes into a medium sized pot.

Add enough water to the pot to just cover them.

Salt the water and bring the pot to a boil over high heat.

Let the potatoes boil for about 10 minutes or until they are fork tender.

Drain the potatoes in a colander and rinse them with cold water for about one minute to stop the cooking process and cool them off.

Set the potatoes aside.

Whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, buffalo sauce, and salt and pepper in a large bowl.

Once the dressing is combined, gently fold in the potatoes, veggies, and eggs.

Serve or transfer to an airtight container to chill.

Enjoy!

Storing

Store this potato salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this the night before and it will be delicious.

The flavors have a chance to meld in the fridge.

Tips and Tricks

The veggies and the eggs are both optional. Omit any or all of them if you’re not a fan.
Want other add ins? Stir in some crunchy crumbled bacon or chopped green onions.
Use whatever buffalo sauce you like. We use mild but if you like more heat you can use spicier.
