I think I’ve mentioned it a time or two about how we are big fans of potatoes. Easy Quick Baked Potatoes are pretty much a regular featured menu item in our home, not to mention Baked Garlic Potato Wedges, a simple spin off of the Quick Baked Potatoes recipe.

We do love a good potato. And as if delicious potatoes themselves were not enough, add a bit of crispy bacon, aromatic savory grilled onions, toasted coriander, cumin and oregano, chiles, fresh cilantro, and oh my, do you have some kind of tasty combination to enjoy. I’m talking about this Texas Style New Potato Salad Recipe, y’all. Yep. It’s a must for your next cookout.

This potato salad recipe developed by Chef Robert Del Grande of Cafe Annie in Houston, Texas, for the McCormick Gourmet Collection combines oregano, cumin, coriander, chiles and red wine vinegar to give this potato salad a big, bold Texan flavor that is the perfect compliment to any cookout menu spread.
