It’s an easy potatoes salad to make, and you can serve it right away warm or chill it. Either way it’s a great side and will be sure to disappear whenever you make it!
I love great inspired dishes, like Mongolian Chicken, bacon wrapped chicken, Ham and Potato Soup and the very popular Mongolian Chicken.
How to Make Potato Salad with Bacon:
Boil the potatoes until fork tender . Drain and rinse the potatoes with cold water to prevent them from cooking further.
While the potatoes are cooking, make the bacon. You can make the bacon as crisp as you’d like. When the bacon is cooked to your liking, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble it once it’s cool enough to handle.
In that same skillet you cooked the bacon in, sauté the onion and garlic until tender.
Then, whisk together the potato salad dressing in a small bowl. Dice the cooked potatoes and add to a large bowl along with the remaining potato salad ingredients. Toss gently to combine and add more salt and pepper as needed.
