Potato Salad

This is my "healthier" take on a German Potato Salad that I found online years ago. Healthier only because I use way less mayo and I don't use the bacon fat. I want to taste the potato when I eat potato salad and this one is really good.


For our BBQ I used 6 lbs of "baby reds".

boil potatoes until a fork can easily go through them

You want crispy bacon so I baked it, about 10-12 strips and then wrapped them in a paper towel to remove extra grease.

the magic seasoning...two packets

sprinkle the first packet on...

give the potatoes a stir and then add the 2nd packet

now add the bacon, chopped up into little pieces

don't use the fake stuff...it's not worth it.

total I used about 1/2 cup.  seriously. only use enough to keep the potatoes moist.

stir to coat all the potatoes but gently, you want nice chunks of potato

add chopped up chives for a pretty garnish
