Bacon Potato Salad




Summer is here and I’m in love with easy salad side dishes. My husband is not a fan of any type of summer salad, but this said he devoured (that’s not an exaggeration) this entire salad almost in one sitting. This recipe comes from an old family friend. I have such found memories of her making big batches and bringing it to our house. The salad was gone within the day between my brother and I, but we loved fighting for this salad every single time. You really can’t go wrong with bacon and lots of cheese add-ins! This recipe is a small batch for the family to eat with some leftovers or a little get together for a summer party.



INGREDIENTS

  •  2-4 large red potatoes
  •  2-3 hard boiled eggs
  •   3-4 slices of bacon, fried and crumbled ( the more bacon the better)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise ( you may use more)
  •  ¼   teaspoon paprika 
  •   ¼  teaspoon pepper
  •  ¼  teaspoon salt
  •   ¼  teaspoon dill 
  •   ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  •   ¼  teaspoon chili powder
  •  1 teaspoon parsley

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cut potatoes into cubes. ( The size of the cubes is up to you, just make sure that all are the same size)
  2.  In a large pot, place potatoes in cold water and bring to a boil. (Doing this ensures that all will cook evenly and at the same time).  Cook potatoes until they are tender.
  3.  Once potatoes are cooked, drain water and place on towel lined tray to cool and dry.
  4.  While potatoes cool, gather all of your spices and set aside.
  5.  Taking your eggs, roughly chop them into quarters.
  6. In a large container, add in your mayonnaise and eggs and mix together with an electric mixer. (You could do this by hand, but doing it this way ensures that everything combines faster and evenly.)

  7.  Sprinkle in all of the seasonings and combine.
  8. Add potatoes and bacon to mayonnaise mixture and combine well. (Fold potatoes in so that you don’t break them.)
  9.  Store in an air tight container and keep in the fridge until ready to ship.  * For any other add in’s you can add shredded cheese or Parmesan cheese!
