Recipe Fun - Potato salad

 I haven't shared a recipe in awhile so I decided it was high time to do so!  Plus this is a recipe I was sure I had posted before but when I went looking for it on my blog I couldn't find it on the list.  

Now, I know that everyone has a potato salad that they feel is the best but, guess what?  I think mine is the best!  It is actually a spin off of a recipe my sister-in-law Debby used to make,  I tweak it to be just what we liked and it remains a favorite to this day.  I think it originally started out has a warm German potato salad recipe and morphed into an American cold version but that could just be in my head. HA!  



Potato Salad

8 potatoes, peeled, diced

4-5 eggs, hard boiled and sliced

1 pound of bacon, cooked and crumbled

salt and peper to taste

Dressing:

1 1/2 cups of Mayo

1/4 cup of sugar

1/4 cup of Italian dressing


Cook the diced potatoes just until fork tender.  Combine the eggs, potatoes, and bacon in a large bowl.  Add salt and pepper.

Mix the three dressing ingreadients in a small bowl

Pour the dressing over the potato mixture while the potato's are still warm.  Mix well.  Place in a covered bowl in the refrigerator.  These are best served the next day but can be served while it is still warm as well. 

** I stir mine a few times as it sits in the fridge in order to mix up the dressing well and combine flavors.
