Image via WikipediaBacon makes everything better and this potato salad recipe is no different. This is my standard bring-to-a-gathering recipe, that's made with those in mind who don't like onions. I use onion powder for flavor and since I don't always have celery on hand, I make sure to stock celery seed in the spice rack. It's much cheaper. You can add a few hard boiled eggs if that suits you.
Basic Potato Salad
6 medium potatoes
1 lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup bacon drippings reserved
1/4 tsp. celery seed
1 tsp. onion powder
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 squirts ( 3 T.) mustard
salt and pepper to taste
Boil potatoes until fork tender. Cool and peel if desired. Cut potatoes into 1/4 inch chunks. In large bowl mix all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate a couple of hours. Serves 6-8.
Note - potatoes and bacon can be cooked ahead of time for assembly later, just leave potatoes unpeeled until ready to use. This dish can easily be made a day in advance.
