"My family requests this potato salad whenever we go on picnics. It’s a well-seasoned salad that gets a slight smoky flavor from the addition of bacon," says Charlotte McDaniel of Williamsville, Illinois.

I'm not a big potato salad fan but my husband and I both love this. I add celery for some crunch but other than that my husband says "Don't change anything."

I made this and I believe it is my husband and my favorite potato salad. I did add hard boiled eggs though. It was very good. Thanks for sharing

If you're not into egg-style potato salads, this is great!

This is now my go-to favorite potatoe salad recipe. I always thought making potatoe salad was too time consuming, but not this one. When I cooked the potatoes and took them out of the water, they fell apart. I did not attempt to peel them and just smashed them up. So I kind of made smashed potatoe salad! Yum

The flavor was a little bland. I did use sour cream instead of mayo for about 1/3 of the dressing. About a teas. of dill weed and additional salt helped. Next time I will add chopped celery.

I've found my go-to potato salad recipe with this one. Used double-smoked bacon, a couple of hard-boiled eggs, and added some celery. No leftovers!

A couple months ago I tried this recipe and it has now become my signature potato salad. Everywhere I take it, it receives rave reviews and I rarely go home with any! The key is to get the ingredients (except for the mayo) tossed together with the potatoes while they are still hot. Simple recipe, awesome taste! Oh, and it also works fine to use turkey bacon, even without the drippings.
