For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the Caesar dressing. If you prefer a tangier potato salad, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar. To elevate the visual appeal, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives before serving. Feel free to substitute other types of potatoes, such as red potatoes or fingerling potatoes, based on your preference. If you don't have Hatch peppers, Anaheim peppers or poblano peppers are a good substitute.
