what y'all will need:
2 pounds red potatoes, peeled & quartered
4 hard-boiled eggs, coarsely chopped
6 strips crisp-cooked bacon, crumbled
1-2 tablespoons onion, chopped {optional}
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon parsley
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
the making part:
put the potatoes in a saucepan & bring to a boil.
cook until fork tender.
drain & transfer potatoes to a salad bowl.
season with the salt, pepper and lemon juice.
add the onions {optional}, parsley and eggs.
combine the mayonnaise and mustard and add to the bowl.
sprinkle the bacon over the salad and toss to mix well.
serve immediately or refrigerate.
the beauty of this potato salad is it's good warm or cold.
note:
i do everything BUT the onions until it's completely made.
i make 2 bowls: one with onions. one without.
hubby likes it cold with onions.
i like it warm without onions.
:)
this recipe can easily be doubled for family picnics.
and be warned ... it doesn't last long.
hope y'all enjoy.
xo, rachel

This is very similar to the recipe I use! The only difference is that I half mayonnaise and half sour cream for the dressing. Yum! Potato Salad is a favourite in our house too. :)

Thanks for sharing. I usually only make macaroni salad. I may have to try your recipe instead.
I`m in charge for the potatoes salad so this comes in very handy to try a new version. Thank you! :)
Yum - now I'm really in the mood for warmer weather :)
Wow this post surely came at the right time - today was bright and sunny and summery - a perfect day for potato salad! I made it (I use half mayo and half sour cream as well) and will be serving it as soon as the burgers are finished on the bbq, lol! It looks delicious, and my 19 year old is already eying the bowl with a possessive look ;)
I am definitely looking forward to getting down on this dish! I'm with you - I love it warm and without onions too. Thanks for sharing!
