The Best Red Skin Potato Salad with Bacon
Creamy smooth potato salad - makes 6 cups
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. red potatoes always red – other kinds are too dry
- 2 eggs hard boiled
- ¼ cup celery diced into 1/8” pieces
- 1 cup mayonnaise NOT imitation type salad dressing
- ½ cup sour cream
- Onion optional
- Crisp bacon optional
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes, preferably the day before. Let them sit in the refrigerator overnight. They’re easier to peel, cut and mix when cold. When they’re warm they seem to fall apart and mush when mixing, and they absorb the mayo and sour cream.
- Cut cold potatoes into ½” cubes. We prefer to leave the skin on, but you can peel them first, if desired.
- Dice the hard boiled eggs.
- Mix all ingredients. Salt to taste.
- Serve and keep cold.
