Simple Potato Salad with Whiskey Bent BBQ Twist

Looking for a crowd-pleasing side that brings bold flavor to the table? This Simple Potato Salad is anything but basic, thanks to a kick from Whiskey Bent BBQ's 100 Proof Rub. It's creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of smoky—perfect for cookouts, backyard barbecues, or a make-ahead side dish for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1. 5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces (peels on)
2. 1 cup Duke’s Mayo (or your favorite mayo)
3. 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
4. 1/2 green bell pepper, diced (reserve a bit for garnish)
5. 1/2 red bell pepper, diced (reserve a bit for garnish)
6. 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Whiskey Bent BBQ 100 Proof Rub
7. 1/4 yellow onion, finely chopped (optional)
8. 3-4 boiled eggs, sliced (for topping)

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add in the potatoes. Boil for about 10 minutes, checking for doneness with a fork (they should slide in easily).

2. Drain potatoes and place in a large mixing bowl. Immediately pour apple cider vinegar over the warm potatoes. Let them cool—ideally overnight—covered with plastic wrap in the fridge.

3. Once completely cooled, add mayo, diced green and red peppers, onion (if using), and 1 tablespoon of the 100 Proof Rub. Gently toss until the potatoes are well coated. Adjust the mayo to your preferred creaminess.

4. Transfer to your serving dish and top with sliced boiled eggs, a sprinkle of the remaining 1 teaspoon of 100 Proof Rub, and the reserved peppers for a pop of color and crunch.

Tip: The key to rich flavor is letting the potatoes soak in the vinegar and chill fully before mixing in the mayo.

Smoky, savory, and just the right amount of tang—this potato salad is about to become your new favorite BBQ side dish. Grab a bottle of 100 Proof Rub at Whiskey Bent BBQ Supply and taste the difference!
