Not Your Mama’s Potato Salad
I’ve had dozens of requests to put this recipe up here. Ok, so I’ve only had 2. But still, if you are having a BBQ (and 4th of July is coming up soon) this is a sure-fire crowd pleaser. Even non-potato salad loving people have raved over this. It is best to make at least a few hours ahead, overnight is even better.
Potato Salad
4 lbs red potatoes
1 cup mayo
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup Creole or whole grain mustard
Salt & pepper to taste
Pinch of garlic powder
Pinch of onion powder
2 bunches green onions (use the green part only)
1 package of bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
Cook potatoes in salted water JUST until tender (Don’t let them get to the falling apart stage). Drain, and let cool.
Mix up the mayo, sour cream, mustard and spices. In large bowl, toss with potatoes, crumbled bacon and sliced green onions. I have been known to toss in a little shredded cheddar too.
Chill and serve.
Notes:
Measurements are approximate. I really don’t measure much when I cook. Yeah, I’m one of those.
Also, if you are making this up ahead of time (which I recommend, because the flavors will have time to “marry”) put the crumbled bacon in just before you serve it. Otherwise the bacon gets limp and soggy. Unless of course you like that sort of thing. In which case, you are dead to me.
