I am not a fan of potato salad, until I tried this recipe that is! This is a recipe I learned while visiting our good friend Ben in Louisiana in 2006, I got to help make it and threw this together from memory when I got home. I usually don’t use measuring, everything is done to taste or looks but I have included measurements here so feel free to increase or decrease with your own personal taste. Time to make includes cooking potatoes and eggs, as well as cooling time.
Ingredients:
4 lbs small red potatoes
6 hard-boiled eggs, diced
2/3 cup dill pickles, shredded
2 cups mayonnaise
2/3 cup mustard
1 lb bacon, crumbled
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons dill
Directions:
1. Do not peel potatoes, cut into bite size pieces and bake or boil (personally I prefer baked) them until they are tender.
2. Boil eggs while potatoes are cooking. Let them both cool after cooking.
3. Add shredded pickles to eggs and potatoes in a large bowl.
4. Mix mayo, mustard, dill, salt and pepper. Add about 2/3 of dressing to salad. Mix well; if it needs more dressing, add the rest. Sometimes it doesn't need any more.
5. Add crumbled bacon last, mixing most of it into the salad and leaving enough for a layer on top of the salad.
