I was tired of the ordinary potato salads served so often in summer, so I came up with this hearty flavorful variation. My family has enjoyed it now for several years, and I'm asked to make it whenever there's a get-together or cookout. I'm sure you'll like it as much as we do. -Barbara O'Kane, Greenwood Lake, New York

This potato salad has some unique twists from typical potato salad - it is a great recipe untouched. I use red potatos and enjoy it even more with extra egg and double the bacon. Thanks for sharing!

YUM YUM - this recipe is a hit. I did omit the tomatoes and doubled the amount of eggs (just because we like lots of eggs). Not a sweet potatoe salad either. Just delicious.

I have been making this for years - since my first subscription to the magazine - and get asked to bring it to every gathering with family, friends and work. Have added chunks of polish sausage and shredded cheese. Agree with another suggestion to add bacon and even tomatoes just before serving.

I made this potato salad for a family gathering and my sister-in-law raved about it! I used fresh basil (2 tablespoons snipped) and red potatoes. Also, the bacon stays crispier if you mix it in just before serving, not earlier. I collect potato salad recipes, and this one is definitely a valued addition!
