My young nephew refuses to eat any potato salad but mine! Italian salad dressing, sour cream and bacon give it a one-of-a-kind flavor.

Every time I make this my guest begin the meal with who is getting the leftovers. My best friends' husband doesn't care for Potato Salad but when I brought this one it quickly became his favorite and he asks for it each time we get together. The time it takes to make this is well worth it.

I have been looking for a great potato salad with awesome flavor and I think this one is it. I used fat free sour cream and turkey bacon to lighten it a bit and it still was wonderful. Great recipe!

Great salad! I make this salad, using fresh garlic & yogurt instead of mayo. Always enjoyed by family and friends.

Wonderful flavor!! Everyone who tried this wanted another helping. This has been added to my "keeper" recipe box.

Excellent salad! However, I prepare it w/yogurt instead of sour cream, and fresh garlic and Dijon mustard.

Salad really good, but I would use 3-1/2 to 4 lbs. of potatoes. I would also use 5 eggs, using one sliced with the center in for garnish, and a little sprinkle of all purpose seasoning. I also boil the eggs along with the potatoes, it saves time.
