  • Reviews

  • “I agree that this recipe should be made the day before serving and it is well worth the wait.It is delicious and the true testament is from a person who up to this recipe never liked any potato salad recipes.”

  • “This was good and easy to make. I used two cans of sliced potatoes. I followed the rest of the recipe as written. I did have to add a bit more sour cream and mayo. This was different but we enjoyed it. I liked it better the longer it sat.”

  • “I basically used this recipe as a “base” to work into a potato salad with what I had on hand. I did everything as called for except I used “bacos” or “bac’n bits” instead of fresh bacon bc I was afraid it would get soggy. I also didn’t get to use the shredded cheese bcI reached my hand into the package of “Kraft shredded cheese” and it was moldy! Even though I JUST bought it and it wasn’t due to expire for 2 weeks!! Total bummer!!! But the potato salad went over well anyways! The whole bowl got eaten 🙂 hope this helps others looking for a different potato salad recipe.”

  • “Very good! I doubled it with extra bacon but kept everything else the same. Very tasty side with BBQ! Thank you for a great recipe!”

  • “I was very disappointed with this recipe, But my Mother In Law thought it was nice and my Husband also no complaints from them. Personally I found it very bland and not what I thought it would have been. The combination of great ingredients did not turn out the be a superb combination at all”

  • “This was a great potato salad. I used about 1 1/2 cups sour cream only and a lot more bacon. I added a little bit of diced tomato too. My family loved it!”

  • “So so so good. And I don’t even like potato salad! This is delicious, hot or cold.”

  • “Oh my this is so amazing!I hate potato salad and this one was just delicious…everyone loved it!Brought it to a BBQ and it was gone quick.I’d almost suggest doubling the recipe because it only makes a small batch.”

  • “Fab! All my guests loved it! It certainly wasn’t a potato salad they would expect!”

  • “I just discovered this recipe and it is AMAZING! I make it while the potatoes are still hot (cutting them up about 10 minutes out of the oven) and the flavors just meld so well. The cheese melts slightly and it’s better than waiting till they cool. Make sure the bacon is very crispy. If you don’t you have to really chew the bacon and it’s not as good. I have made it for family and friends and am asked frequently to make it again. 🙂 There are never any leftovers!”

  • “Thank you so much for post this recipe.Made it last week for my DH and it was gone in 2 days. He’s been asking when I was going to make more. Dug my potatoes from the garden this morning, got some roasting on the grill now.He will have a yummy surprise for dinner tonight!Thanks again!”

  • “This is excellent! I “baked” the potatoes in the microwave first. I used light mayo, but otherwise kept ingredients the same. I added a couple tablespoons of milk to make it a bit creamier, since the sauce seemed a bit thick. The bacon really makes this potato salad a winner. Yum!”

  • “Great recipe although I think it could have used more sour cream and less mayo. Thanks.”

  • “I actually found this recipe last year and have made it several times, at home and for potlucks…NEVER any left overs!As far as using green onions…I’ve used regular yellow, vidallia, or red…depends on what I have with the same results..awesome!!”

  • “I do not ever like potato salad… except for this one. My husband added a little red wine vinegar to it to give it a little zip and it was fantastic! I could possibly eat the whole bowl.”

  • “This is awesome! I don’t have alot of experience making potato salad, but I have and often end up a little disappointed. Not so here! Will be saving this recipe – thanks for sharing!”

  • “I make this recipe with boiled red potatoes and my whole extended family loves it!”

  • “Excellent!”
