I had potatoes to cook but could NOT bring myself to turn the oven on to do my standard roasting. There is a BBQ joint here that has this fabulous potato salad so I thought I would try and imitate it. It turned out really nothing like it, but still fabulous. Mason said they were the best mashed potatoes I had ever made. It wasn't mashed potatoes at all, but whatever...
And just to warn you - this is NOT diet food.
White Potato Salad (serves 6)
1 lb of red potatoes (do not use baking potatoes. you need the waxy ones.)
1 rib of celery chopped finely
1/2 onion chopped finely
1/2 lb bacon cooked
3 hard boiled eggs diced
1/2 c mayo
1/2 c sour cream
S&P
1. Boil your potatoes in salted water. (I cooked my potatoes and eggs at the same time, in the same pot to save a step and a dirty dish.)
2. Cook and crumble your bacon. (I cooked mine in the oven. I also placed the onion on the cookie sheet with it so that it wouldn't be raw in the salad. Another step to save a dirty dish.)
2. Mash your potatoes. Stir in celery, onion, eggs, bacon, mayo, and sour cream. S&P to your taste.
3. Eat.
Honestly, I am usually a traditional southern mustard potato salad kind of girl, but this recipe may have changed everything. I might just use this recipe from here on out. It's just that good.
Oh, and sorry there are no pictures. It was gone before I could get the camera out.

I think you would really like this recipe, too.
3 1/2 pounds red potatoes
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp dry parsley
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dry Ranch dressing
1/3 cup chives
1/2 cup green onions
1 cup bacon
2 cups sour cream
2 cups mayo
splash of vinegar to taste
Bake potatoes (for medium sized spuds, should take about an hour). Cut into cubes while still warm and add spices one at a time. Add bacon, onions, chives, and mix again. Add in sour cream, mayo, and vinegar and mix again. Cover and refrigerate - the longer the better.
