Creamy Bacon Potato Salad

April 27, 2019

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Crisp crumbled bacon, boiled eggs, tender potatoes, and the perfect seasoned dressing

Do I have your undivided attention?

What if I told you once you have a bite of this potato salad, it’s kinda like the Lays potato chip slogan… “betcha can’t just eat one” your fork will continue to dive into this deliciousness, out of complete control and you will LOVE every minute of it!

All kidding aside, this is the potato salad I grew up eating. It is our go-to salad when we are having a BBQ. Even the pickiest of eaters love it! The best thing about it is like all my recipes, it is easy to make!

Like I mentioned before. This is a family favorite. But, I have taken this recipe and adapted it to what MY family likes, I’ve added a little more garlic powder at times and I have switched up the kinds of potatoes I use too. Use what potatoes you like or have on hand. All kinds taste good!

Ingredients
  

  • 15 red potatoes
  • 4 stalks celery diced
  • 6 stems green onion diced
  • 10 boiled eggs diced
  • 15 strips bacon, crisp crumbled
  • 2 – 3 C. mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. seasoned salt
  • 2 Tbsp. brown mustard
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp. salt

Instructions
 

  • 1.  Place all potatoes in a pot.  Fill with enough water to cover the potatoes.  Add  salt to the pot.  Boil until fork tender on med.high for about 40 min.
    2.  Boil eggs 
    3. Dice up celery, green onion and set aside.
    4. Arrange bacon on baking sheets and put into a cold oven set to 400 degrees.  Start timer and let bake for 25 minutes.  Remove it from the oven and place it on a plate with paper towel to let it absorb the bacon grease.  When cooled, crumble it and add it to the green onion and celery.
     5.  Put mayonnaise into a bowl with the brown mustard, seasoned salt and garlic powder.  Mix.
    6.  When potatoes and eggs are cooked, chop them up and then add them to the bowl with the bacon, celery and green onion.  Stir them until mixed well.
    -When cutting the potatoes, leave in bigger chunks so when mixed they don’t turn to mashed potatoes.
    7.  Add the mayonnaise dressing mix and combine.  
    It is delicious warm and cold.   Enjoy!
